The corrupted role of the musician

...The last aspect of this compositional process that really grabbed my attention was the fact that the traditional role of the musician is totally corrupted. The musician has to let the instrument play on its own, still he will act on the shape of the Theremin's sound. Then, becomes a very careful listener when he records the environmental and the instrumental sounds. After, he becomes a technician when he switches on the machines and an explorer when he has to set up this installation in the forest...
Have a look at the installation through this short video composed of raw footages mixed with some birds and wind sounds...
