Mercredi 1er octobre à midi,
enregistrez les sirènes !
Un appel à contribution de Marc Jacquin, de Phonurgia Nova
Cher(e)s ami(e)s « phonographistes »,Je vous fais suivre cet appel à contribution, dans l’espoir que, en dépit d’un délai courtissime, vous pourrez ouvrir vos micros et apporter votre brique sonore à cet édifice.
Pour les parisiens, il suffit pratiquement d’un couple stéréo ou d’un bon micro mono, d’un enregistreur de qualité ou de moins bonne qualité (dans la limite du raisonnable..), et d’un peu de temps disponible autour de midi, ce mercredi 01/10 pour capter le chant des sirènes flottant dans l’air de la Capitale (en prenant bien soin de s’attacher au mât d’un bateau..!).Phonurgia Nova soutient ce projet et s’en fera l’écho dans le cadre de sa programmation arlésienne... et parisienne (eh oui, enfin la décentralisation !)
Si vous souhaitez davantage de précisions artistiques ou techniques sur ce projet, n’hésitez pas à interroger son auteur Hanna Buhl (<span

between the sirens of paris
dear listeners and phonographers,each first wednesday of the month, paris has a special concert to offer :
from 12 to about 12.15 (noon), all the sirens of the city are being played in a clear protocol (3x siren, break of about 8 to 10 minutes, another 1x siren).let’s tune in and play with it !
idea :
to record a soundscape of the city and catch the sirens as an acoustic intersection and the 10 minute siren-break as an open space-perception of the soundspaces of the city.method :
we position several people with recording equipment from 11.55 until 12.15 on the 1st of october (next wednesday !)
in the innercity of paris (we are figuring out where exactly that could be at the moment and are curious for proposals)
in acoustic spaces where intersections offer to relate to the position of the other recordings.
anybody being stuck somewhere for their work etc. at that time is also very welcome to record from where they are !
use the file format you can ; 44.1KHz wav or aiff would be preferred, if possible.time synchronization :
we propose to call via mobile telephone a speaking clock (horloge parlante) and to record the voice on the recorder.
you can call the 3699 (it will cost you 34 cents) or check <a
target="_blank" href="http://www.horlogeparlante.com"><span
style="font-weight: bold;">www.horlogeparlante.com
and read out the displayed time and then just walk to where you want to record.outcome :
a multichannel-work with several (at least 4) channels and speakers where one can explore the paris-soundscape with the sirens as the intersections and the 10-minutes break as an open space of the pace of the city.
how to participate :
please let us know via mail (<span style="font-weight: bold;">h.buhl chez email.de ) about your tuning in and the recording equipment (dataformat and type of microphone) you have.
we can possibly also organize a recorder and a microphone for you.
we are looking forward to explore the city with you !
best wishes,
hanna buhl and emmanuel rébus
