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.

Edgar on a CD...

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

Le printemps d'Edgar

March 2010, performance at Goldsmiths College.
"Edgar, l'enfant du placard", a piece of sound composed and prepared for live improvisation.
Ross Downes was playing the guitar, processing its sounds, while I was manipulating a MAX msp patch on my computer, generating synthesis and triggering samples of field recordings.
