MEURSAULT / NOGRAY / PATTERSON
Born during the summer of 2014 in Grenoble, this trio gets together musicians who share a common taste for field recordings but left their microphones for experimenting with acoustic, mechanical, electrical and electronic phenomena. Their choice of instrumentation appropriates various technical and industrial elements: Frédéric Nogray’s singing bowls are originally industrial crucibles; using contacts-microphones, Lee Patterson amplifies sounds of chemical reactions, vibrating springs and motors; pali meursault captures the electromagnetic activity of failing neon lights.
The trio’s research was developed in rare and intense occasions, during which the musicians have been inhabiting their own installation. After Le Train Fantôme (Grenoble, FR) and Les Instants Chavirés (Paris, FR) in 2014 and 2015, this residency at Q-O2 is an opportunity for exploring new directions.
