FR - ENG

In his acousmatic works, Valentin Sismann often questions the boundary between the anecdotal and the abstract, the recorded and the composed. He plays on the sometimes poetic, sometimes harsh transition from one of these worlds to the other in dialogues of spaces, in a language that is as narrative and semiological as it is musical.

Espaces Amoureux is a cycle of acousmatic pieces inspired by the link between love and space. These spaces, whether those of recorded sound or pure artifice, attempt through their writing to become embedded in the musical in such a way that they find the same value as the field of pitches, for example. In short, what happens is that they invite us, direct our listening and, most importantly, seduce us.
