Seuil Optique (Improvised Electronics) Seuil Optique, duo of Sig Valax and Nicolas Tourney, offers a unique experience of listening to music in the dark. Immersing the stage and the public in constant darkness, Seuil Optique creates soundscapes where electronic transmissions, acousmatic landscapes and refined drones intersect. By jostling the boundaries between listening, blind manipulation of machines and immersive experience offered to the audience, the two musicians explore new sound tracks, in permanent dialogue with hybrid musicalities and the practice of singular instruments: persephone, field recording, electro-acoustic devices, matrices and samples. On stage, they use deliberately “open” improvisation strategies and defeat the boundaries between manipulating machines in the dark, harmonics tinged with noise-producing materials and the “eyes closed” hearing experience offered to the public. Seuil Optique builds frescoes where electronic impulses, slow gestures and acoustic responses intersect: each of their albums, tells the story of an eyeless camera, of a journey beyond the screen. An ephemeral present filled with the memory of this interior film that everyone projects on their eyelids in the evening. https://seuiloptique.bandcamp.com/ www.seuiloptique.com Seuil Optique’s tracks Seuil Optique - La Chambre Jaune by Seuil Optique published on 2021-05-17T13:28:08Z Seuil Optique - Transparent by Seuil Optique published on 2021-05-17T13:28:07Z Seuil Optique - Growing Moisture by Seuil Optique published on 2021-05-17T13:28:05Z Seuil Optique - Inner Language by Seuil Optique published on 2021-05-17T13:28:04Z Seuil Optique - Between Lines by Seuil Optique published on 2021-05-17T13:28:03Z Seuil Optique - This Game Is Only A Trick by Seuil Optique published on 2021-05-17T13:28:02Z Seuil Optique - Combinations by Seuil Optique published on 2021-05-17T13:28:00Z Seuil Optique - Oaks - Sycomores by Seuil Optique published on 2020-09-23T16:02:25Z Seuil Optique - Oaks - The Foam Of Love by Seuil Optique published on 2020-09-23T16:02:23Z Seuil Optique - Oaks - Suspense 1 by Seuil Optique published on 2020-09-23T16:02:21Z
