SAS HATTÉ, acousmatic piece, octophonic (8.1), 8’30, 2024
A personal record of the auditory impressions from the woodworking and carpentry workshops of Tronchoy, France. The compositional work attempts to articulate the cohesion of the craftmen’s parallel work within the space: wood supply, machining of parts, sanding, assembly, and finishing touches. Their presence, though subtle, is discernible in the rhythmic interplay of tools and machines, attuned to the precision of their movements.
Pierrot pensait à la mort, acousmatic piece, stereo, 4´19, 2023
Leaning comfortably on his elbows, Pierrot was thinking of the death of Louis XVI, which means, singularly, of nothing precise.
The piece draws a mental landscape, in two parts, inspired by Raymond Queneau ́s omniscient narrator in “Pierrot mon ami”. Electronic sounds, and then natural ones, form a fog of precise elements. The carelessness and the lightness of an idle thought go along with a heavy awkwardness. From the writer’s style, changes of scale, fundamental contradictions, and a certain playfulness, found a sound transposition.
La Pendule, acousmatic piece, stereo, stéréo, 3´13, 2023
This short acousmatic poem is based on Raymond Queneau´s La Pendule. It gathers music, language and meaning as one entity, so that, the content and it´s container became undifferentiated. Exclusively composed from the author´s own body noises, phonetic hash as well as guttural an gastric sounds, evoke the fateful swallowing of a pendulum.
À brûle-pourpoint II, electroacoustic piece, stereo, 30´, 2022
This performance stems from the desire to improvise and provoke the encounter of heterogeneous materials. By quickly triggering and spatializing prepared sound objects, Florine Mougel creates a landscape of incandescent particles that evokes a state of agitation.
À brûle-pourpoint, acousmatic piece, stereo, 2´38, 2022
À brûle-pourpoint roots through the sonic gesture of friction-granulation combining electronic sounds and field recordings. In this short acousmatic piece, Florine Mougel creates a close landscape of incandescent particles that evokes a state of restlessness. “Fire smolders in a soul more surely than under ashes.” G.Bachelard
