Alternating Currents Live presents PANG! (The Bridge #2.5)

Sophie Agnel, Pascal Niggenkemper, and Sam Pluta are known for being a bit of demiurges on the edges, as creators of worlds. They do not stop things in their tracks, and they do not classify anything. At the sources of sound and in its depths, there are always other sounds, twists and contortions, a shadow behind a light behind a shadow: a trade of transparencies and opacities, the office of the cards. One could imagine a golem, which this time would not be made of clay but of copper, ropes and cables, relaying all information, all sources, all sounds—revealing that all sources are resources, no more and no less, whether they are acoustic, electric or electronic. And such revelations will often be mistaken by others: the cornucopia-cornet passes in the key-ring-laptop, which passes in the double bass-earth, which passes in the piano-master key: all is a matter of grafts and griffins. In this group, the instruments are played, prepared, tampered with, amplified, filtered, taken and taken again, like flies in the river, like pebbles in the river. The music is the river.

The Bridge is supported by Ministère de la Culture, Sacem, Centre National de la Musique, Spedidam, Adami, and Institut Français.
