REMINISCENCE (2011​-​12'04)

by Lionel Kasparian

about

Pièce composée dans le cadre de la collaboration de Lionel Kasparian avec le chorégraphe Christophe Haleb autour de son projet “Atlas but not list“.

“Réminiscence“ a été composée pour une performance chorégraphique réalisée dans le cadre du rituel urbain de Lieux Publics - “Sirène et midi net“ - sur la place du parvis de l’Opéra de Marseille.
Ce rituel urbain et cette composition s’articulent autour de l’exercice de vérification du fonctionnement des sirènes d’alarmes, qui retentissent en France les 1ers mercredis du mois depuis 1948.
La performance ayant eu lieu en période d’ouverture de saison de l’Opéra avec la présence sur les colonnes des kakémonos de présentation de la programmation du lieu, j’ai souhaité intégrer dans la composition musicale un contrepoint plus "rock" sous forme d'un mashup (premier essai que l’on trouvera développé dans la ballade sonore réalisée en 2013 “Walk my memories“).
La pièce est donc constituée d’extraits musicaux divers, de textes choisis par le chorégraphe Christophe Haleb et de sons, enregistrés dans le cadre des résidences de création au Ballet National de Marseille.

This piece was composed as part of Lionel Kasparian's collaboration with the choreographer Christophe Haleb on his project "Atlas but not list".

"Reminiscence" was composed for a choreographic performance produced in the framework of the urban ritual of Lieux Publics - "Sirène et midi net" - on the square in front of the Marseilles Opera House.
This urban ritual and this composition are based on the test of the city’s sirens test, which has taken place here every month since 1948.
The performance took place during the opening of the Opera House concert season, with the presence of kakemonos on the building columns presenting the venue's programme. Therefore, I wanted to integrate into the musical composition a more 'rock' counterpoint in the form of a mashup (a first attempt which will be developed in the sound ballad produced in 2013, 'Walk my memories').
The piece is therefore made up of various musical extracts, texts chosen by the choreographer Christophe Haleb and sounds recorded during the creation residencies at the “Ballet National de Marseille“.


Initialy, "Reminiscence" is a multiphonkic sound piece, which has been rewritten for a musical listening and in stereo.

Born in France (Marseilles) in 1973, Lionel Kasparian has been living in Brussels since 2013. He is a graduate from the Nadia & Gilles Touché Drum School and the National Music Conservatory of Marseilles (electroacoustic music composition). He began his career in instrumental improvisation in connection with new technologies, before developing his work in sound design and sound creation with multichannel loudspeaker systems. In his work, he questions the collective aspect of human existence from the prominent place of the personality of the individual and he is particularly interested in so-called "marginal" people. His creations are often surrounding themes of introspection and intimacy. In 2003, he founded Art-Temps Réel, a non-profit organization that develops activities ranging from the production of multiphonics musical works, to the production of events, including the transmission in educational workshops. Since 2010, the organization has been dedicated to the development of participatory creative projects aimed at reaching diverse audiences in a given territory. These artistic projects have a strong political dimension and aim to express a questioning of social norms. Between 2010 and 2013, he has worked as a composer and producer for the 2013 European Capitals of Culture, in several inclusive parts: from the show of the opening night to long-term projects involving residents in collective artistic creations. Following, he developed similar projects around the territories in the south of France and shared is expertise with multiple public institutions. Since 2017, he has renewed his direction of work in experimenting alternative artistic and compositional intentions, through solos or collaboratively.
