Ami silencieux – Stiller Freund is a sensory approach to words, voices and mirrored languages. Like clay on a wheel, the acoustic substance is shaped, and from its very movement emerges a form that cuts through the space of the concert hall.
The intention is to sharpen listening, to liberate it from the world, to connect it to the intimate microcosm, in order to remain immobile in its own rustle, its inner landscape perhaps then expanding.
The concert continues the exploration of male and female voices combined with recordings from nature. However, the sounds of sea, wind, water, fire, birds and their electronic chimeras may only be a shadow of more primitive elements set in motion in and around the audience.
Dimitri Coppe is a composer and performer of electronic music. Within composition and improvisation, he explores sound as a form set in motion by forces. Sound’s energy and space’s movements are linked together. Gestures are deployed through the entire space of a concert hall. The listener is at the heart of sound’s phenomenon. To do so, he has developed his own instrument: a unique home made sound system. That’s why there are no records but only concerts.
