Tanguy Pocquet

written for and performed by Stephen Upshaw, Ausias Garrigos and Sam Cave of the Riot ensemble, this piece explores delicate timbral materials, idiomatic to each instrument, and non-narrative structure, featuring a hidden repetition of material.

using the recording of ce que le givre conserve d’une empreinte as its only source of material, this acousmatic work explores similar structural ideas as the original piece, and displays varying levels of transformation of the instrumental sounds, creating layers of varyingly abstracted timbres, as if the original texture had been frozen, fixated, coagulated in time.

the piece is accompanied by programmed visuals exploring swarm behaviours.
