One and other project

"Young people from Brooks Community School have collaborated with artist Larry Achiampong, with assistance from artist Barbara Lambert, to research and create artwork inspired by music that is shared culturally, as part of the One & Other project.
Participants explored what a superhero is? How they came into being? And who can be a superhero? Superheroes were researched in relation to each participants' culture and personal superheroes. They created their own superhero, developing a comic story and sketching out their likeness..."

I'm with you vol. 3

On saturday 12th of june 2010, another day of performances and installations, were I did a 4 channel installation, immersing listeners in the greenhouse of a beautiful garden in Clapton. I was playing the sound of my last work, "Two mints in one, Roland et Pierre dans la serre". Creating a harmonical relationship between some of Roland Barthes'text L'Empire des signes, Pierre-Antoine's voice reading it, and improvised musical sentences.

Pictures taken by Pierre-Antoine on the day of the performance, click here to see more of his photographic work.

"‘I’m with you’ is a series of performance events, mostly in houses and gardens but sometimes other types of places. We’re starting to think it has something to do with weirdness, if weird could mean collapsing contingency, necessity, function and awareness. Not quite, but not unrelated to, ‘queer’. We go into someone else’s house and we think: how did it get this way?"

LIVE ART RESIDENCY at Chisenhale Gallery, march 2010

"During her residency, Lambert worked in response to Florian Hecker's exhibition with Year 5 pupils to explore personal sonic snapshots related to memory. Through initial research in the form of sonic walks pupils developed sound awareness, listening techniques and how to sense space through sound rather than visual cues. Following this outing pupils developed personal sound samples using digital software. These sound works then contributed to an interactive and immersive sound installation. The project provided pupils with the opportunity to develop sensitivity to their surroundings and to develop new skills by working collaboratively with a professional artist."

Instead of drowning the cats

The day after the performance at Tate Britain, I went to the studio to play the piano and recorded three sequences of improvisation.
Later, I overlaid them like three different voices confronting each other, creating dissonances, confusion and processed them to reach a certain point of distortion.
piano, synthesis, research RBLKL

Edgar on a CD...

After the performance of "Edgar", we decided to publish the work, rearranged it and recorded it for mastering.
