original text :
During 10 days, éric la casa has been creating a site specific sound project for the Kill Your Timid Notion festival and the DCA museum, in Dundee (Scotland). This work has been developping in confrontation with the (american experimental filmmaker) Ken Jacobs' nervous magic lantern, on a 6 channels device. In residency at the DCA museum, eric la casa conceived a calibration of the city, listening to (around 30) specific places and objets of it : carpark, ventilations, sirens, elevators, escalators, fridges, swimming pool, skating rink,shopping center, water course, breakage, church (sermon during baptism), Bingo place (screams and announcements), botanical garden, harbour (wind in iron gate and fences), Tayport (wind in the pine forest, and in the marina...), Dundee law (radio frequencies)... From these recordings he has been composing variations/movements in interaction with the ken Jacobs'processings. From the real to abstract life.

For 30 years, while listening to the environment, I have been questioning the perception of reality and has tried to expand the notion of infra-ordinary (space-time at low intensity), from background noise to the inaudible, through the wait, the pause.
