[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Ce projet a d\u00e9but\u00e9 \u00e0 Poitiers, apr\u00e8s une discussion avec les gens du Lieu Multiple. J\u2019ai alors esquiss\u00e9 une premi\u00e8re marche dans la ville et une premi\u00e8re version de logiciel pour tenter de rendre en sons ce que je ressentais dans les rues.<\/p>\n

En mars 2018, pendant une r\u00e9sidence au ZKU de Berlin, j\u2019ai fait deux marches dans le Moabit. Elles partaient du m\u00eame point mais s\u2019\u00e9loignaient l\u2019une de l\u2019autre, pour revenir enfin au point de d\u00e9part. La premi\u00e8re marche commen\u00e7ait sur le c\u00f4t\u00e9 droit de la rue, la seconde sur le c\u00f4t\u00e9 gauche, les deux trajets s\u2019\u00e9loignant puisque suivre les b\u00e2timents d\u2019un c\u00f4t\u00e9 ou de l\u2019autre m\u00eane \u00e0 suivre un autre chemin. Des vid\u00e9os des deux marches ainsi que les coordonn\u00e9es gps et les variations d\u2019altitude furent enregistr\u00e9es. En avril 2018, j\u2019ai entrepris l\u2019\u00e9tape finale du projet aux studios EMS de Stockholm. J\u2019ai d\u2019abord utilis\u00e9 les variations des coordonn\u00e9es et de l\u2019altitude comme sources de voltage pour le synth\u00e9tiseur Buchla du studio 4. Diff\u00e9rentes versions furent enregistr\u00e9es, utilisant diff\u00e9rents r\u00e9glages des oscillateurs. Puis j\u2019ai superpos\u00e9 et remix\u00e9 ces enregistrements, qui durent tous 30 minutes comme les marches d\u2019origine, en respectant le chronom\u00e9trage initial. Ce qui donna les pi\u00e8ces berlin x<\/em> et berlin y<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Puis, j\u2019ai cherch\u00e9 \u00e0 faire une version qui laisserait moins de place \u00e0 l\u2019interpr\u00e9tation personnelle. Assis dans la salle de pause d\u2019EMS, on peut entendre le tic-tac de 7 horloges qui donnent exactement le m\u00eame temps mais qui ne font pas exactement le m\u00eame son. J\u2019ai emprunt\u00e9 cette structure et cr\u00e9\u00e9 une pi\u00e8ce o\u00f9 chaque seconde est divis\u00e9e en 7 clics. Le premier est un clic de r\u00e9f\u00e9rence et il y ensuite un clic pour chaque valeur de gps : x, y et altitude, pour les deux marches. Les variations de ces valeurs ont \u00e9t\u00e9 appliqu\u00e9es comme variations du rythme des clics correspondants. Pour rendre la progression du trajet plus audible, j\u2019ai ajout\u00e9 une milliseconde \u00e0 chaque cycle : le premier cycle de l\u2019horloge dure 1.000, le second 1.001, etc. Ainsi, le dernier cycle dure 2 secondes et les marches qui duraient 30 minutes durent maintenant une heure, dans une pi\u00e8ce finale qui s\u2019intitule berliner zeit<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This project began in Poitiers, following a discussion with people from Le Lieu Multiple. I then took a first walk in the city and wrote a software sketch trying to find a way to render in sounds what I was feeling in the streets.<\/p>\n

In March 2018, while in residency in Berlin at the ZKU, I took two walks in Moabit. These walks started from the same point but slowly drifted apart. They then came back almost to the starting point. The first walk started on the right side of the street, the second one on the left side, which explains the drifting, since following the buildings on one side or the other lead to different paths. Video of the facades were recorded on both sides, as well as gps coordinates and altitude. In April of the same year, I went to work at EMS studios, in Stockholm. I first used the coordinates and altitude variations as voltage sources for the Buchla synthesizer they have in studio 4. I recorded a number of versions with different oscillators settings. I then used these recordings, each exactly 30 minutes long as the original walks, and composed the berlin x and berlin y pieces by mixing from one track to another, overlaying some, but without any cuts.<\/p>\n

After recording these two works, I began looking for a way to render these walks in sounds with less personal input than in the first version. Sitting in the lounge at EMS, I could hear the ticking of the seven clocks they have on the wall : seven clocks that show exactly the same time, but that do not produce exactly the same sound. So I used it as a structure. I created a piece were each second is divided in seven ticks. One is a reference click, then there is one for each value from the gps : x, y and altitude for 2 walks. The x, y and altitude variations were then applied to each corresponding click as a drifting factor for each sound. To render the progression in the journey, I simply added one millisecond to each cycle of the clock. The first clock tick is 1 second, the second tick is 1.001, etc. Once the process has been completed, the last clock cycle is now 2 seconds long and the walks that lasted 30 minutes are now a one hour sound track, titled berliner zeit.<\/p>\n
