The collective DRUMS, made up of 9 emerging artists researching and working within the field of sound and beyond, offer two hours of streaming over five days (September 9-13). Each daily session will be based on a specific pattern, responding to the pattern of the day before. “A throw of the dice never will abolish chance.” – Mallarmé
DRUMS will activate a special protocol: DDD. DDD is a conceptual analytical system where the association of three words starting with D creates a tridimensional investigation space. As sound matter is a wave working in three dimensions, we assign it to a tridimensional physical space.
DRUMS RADIO – the concept
Drums is a collective of 9 emerging artists researching and working within the field of sound, and beyond. As part of the postgraduate Arts and Sound creation 2019-2020 session at ENSA, the collective reconsiders the relationship between fine arts and sound.
Drums will create an experimental platform Drums Radio consisting of broadcasts and live moments. Over five days (September 9-13), two hours of streaming will be held. Each daily session will be based on a specific pattern, responding to the pattern of the day before.
“A throw of the dice never will abolish chance.” – Mallarmé
DRUMS will activate a special protocol: DDD. DDD is a conceptual analytical system where the association of three words starting with D creates a tridimensional investigation space. As sound matter is a wave working in three dimensions, we assign it to a tridimensional physical space.
The protocol of our action is as follows: Picking three “D” words per day. These three words frame our exploration field.
Examples or potential D patterns:
Dimension / Decay / Decadence / Decline / Dispute / Demon / DIY / Dilemma / Dissonance / Decolonization / Danger / Discourse / Demystify / Dissolution / Drift / Dystopia / Debate / Decide / Damage / Dream /
Our broadcasting center will be based at Haïdouc of the Antre Peaux Art Center to offer a counterpart to broadcasting: a laboratory of exploration that will allow us to shape and take part in the broadcasting device.
Despite the distance and the dissociation of the sound bodies, Drums Radio will become a transdisciplinary moving space: instruments, machines, sound installations, actors are melting into a micro universe.
