ARCHITECTURE AS MUSICAL INSTRUMENT

THE TUBE #2 [vertically, in opposite of Ourdission]:

Project for the opening of La Villette in Paris was to use the chimney and transform it in a giant drum-flute. The audience was inside the chimney walking on spiral stairs or staying or jumping on the huge trampoline. The audience was surrounded and inside the sound and the sound inside the audience.

THE EPHEMERODES GUARDS OF CHRONES

the Drop building

This is the map of the seven Gods playing seven bad state pianos. Each God is on one circle stage inside the 18 meters' heptagon and plays his own history of time. The heptagon is surrounded by a white enlighten vertically tube canvas of 20 meters high. The inflatable building has a shape of a black drop and the enlighten tube go outside like a volcano. The light ambiance is mysterious because it is the ceremony of Times. Erre sings in the middle of the heptagon around her mic-tree. Each of the seven Atirnons' choirs is behind the audience. The audience place has no chair and goes up to the Atirnons parabolic room.

RION RIORIM

the Dark Miror Cube building

 

The only way to get in the concert hall: the Cube of Rion Rionrim is to take the lift. Nobody knows if the lift goes down or up and it takes a long time to arrive to the first room, an antechamber where everybody has to take out they shoes. Then the entrance gives to a big light suspended [unstable] "tong" of Plexiglas. The inside of the Cube is totally dark. At the bottom there is 33 metal chairs looking at the center put in circle. The public sit on the chairs. Black & white TVs and loudspeakers surround the circle of chairs, they in the dark invisible. In this silence and darkness time to time some flash light appear here and there. The light of the "tong" very slowly decreases. At the total darkness the old TVs turn on with difficulty and start the piece by a face who sing a beautiful melody with the poem of Charles d'Orléans but step by step the mental code [the encodage 1], the gesture code [the encodage 2] and the communication media code [the encodage 3] changes they "translators" and generate a polyphony of sounds and pictures naturally impossible to do. The surrounding of a multiphonic singing grimaces. The coda is the faces of the public are filmed and shown on TVs.
