Incandescence part1 from Fonderie.Paccard by éric la casa

Composed between august and november 2000, in his studio
part 1- the machines
part 2- the forge
part 3- in the tuning workshop

The composition discloses three original listening territories arising from all the processes used in making a bell.
My work is a "descension" inside this humming feeding itself on the vibratile particles of the foundry. By penetrating the sound strata of this matter the ear goes deep into this neverending workshops clamour which is saturating the space. Everything here, even the sound dust, is set in motion by workers who are bringing forth again and again complex trajectories for all these materials.

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.
