• [hal-05102295] Acoustic Augmentation of the Trumpet – Navigating Control and Unpredictability in a Long-Term Research-Creation Collaboration

  7 juin, par ano.nymous@ccsd.cnrs.fr.invalid (Nicolas Souchal), Nicolas Souchal
  We describe an audio-augmented trumpet that mainly uses the sound of the instrument itself to control sound processing, unlike typical sensor-based augmented instruments. Using real-time sound analysis driving sound processing such as additive synthesis, resonators, and auto-convolution, we explore human/augmented-instrument relationships that introduce unpredictability, navigating between moments of control and moments of adaptation to situations of non-control, which is particularly relevant to the practice of improvisation. During this long-term research--creation collaboration, we developed the most musically relevant analysis-to-synthesis mappings. Adopting a practice-based approach, grounded in auto-ethnographic principles, enabled the adaptation and refinement of technological development driven by musical needs, extending beyond simple audio effects into a realm where the acoustic environment becomes less predictable and more of a partner in improvisation.

• [hal-05000210] Écouter et composer avec le sol : approche des espaces sonores solidiens

  21 mars, par ano.nymous@ccsd.cnrs.fr.invalid (Schuh Diane), Schuh Diane

  Lors des deuxièmes rencontres nationales « Les Futurs des recherches en musique », nous souhaitons présenter le projet de recherche-création SOIL (Soil Observation through musical Interaction and Listening). Ce projet situé à l'intersection entre l'écologie, le paysage, la composition, l'informatique musicale et les techniques du son s'appuie sur la composition musicale pour sensibiliser à l'importance des sols et à leur rôle essentiel dans nos écosystèmes, au prisme de l'expérience sonore. Nos recherches se développeront entre 2025 et 2026 à Saint-Denis et à New-York, en collaboration avec le trio de musiciens new-yorkais Longleash et les jardiniers du Liz Christy community garden. Le jardin de la MSH Paris Nord constituera dans un premier temps notre terrain d'expérimentation pour le développement de ces nouveaux outils que nous transporterons et adapterons au Liz Christy Garden, à New York.

• [hal-04973978] Symbiotic milieu : Gardens in movement, and gardeners in music

  3 mars, par ano.nymous@ccsd.cnrs.fr.invalid (Schuh Diane), Schuh Diane
  This talk will examine listening as a means of cultivating attention to the living, proposing it as a sensitive modality for engaging in dynamic interactions between humans and non-humans. Drawing on the interdisciplinary methodologies of landscape architecture and computer music, my research investigates how models of living systems can inform creative processes that foster a relational ecology. The notion of “making-garden” serves as a conceptual and practical framework, developed through fieldwork in the Garden in Motion at the Maison des Sciences de l’Homme Paris Nord. This approach links gardening practices with soundscape analysis, recording, and re- composition, revealing the plural and entangled nature of listening as a tool for transforming perspectives on nature and fostering collective ecological awareness. Building on this foundation, I will explore how principles from the garden, such as symbiosis and self-organization, can be translated into musical composition. I will present two experimental devices that incorporate computer music tools. The first project called LICHENS examines the Garden in Motion as a site for fieldwork and participatory listening practices aided by computer music tools. From these experiences emerges a methodology inspired by Anna Tsing’s concept of the “Art of Noticing.” The second project called “Mycelium Garden” employs bioelectric signals from mycelium networks to transform real-time human electroacoustic compositions, challenging anthropocentric perspectives and exploring interspecies co-creation. These devices, grounded in the theories of complexity and emergence, challenge static notions of composition by emphasizing interaction, feedback, and the co-creation of adaptive musical environments. I argue that the model of sympoiesis (Dempster 2000; Haraway 2016), and more specifically what we define as “symbiosis by adjusting differences” (Guillo 2019), can be relevant to the design of compositions and installations conceived as dynamic, interactionist processes. These encourage emergence phenomena and value singularity and diversity, in an open, adaptive model that invites attention to the living through listening.
