Ictus’ Liquid Room reimagines the traditional concert format. Several stages, unexpected transitions, amplification and meticulous lighting, unusual durations: a miniature festival. Audience members are free to walk around the sound space, to choose their listening angle, to punctuate their comings and goings between "attentive" and "immersive" listening. A match is struck in the night, amplified a thousand times… Dusk-like lighting transforms the way we hear a recent work from the repertoire, Sciarrino, Pesson, or Bedrossian… An installation by Alvin Lucier—a guitar string the size of a marine rope—overlaps James Tenney’s exploration of the tamtam’s resonances…. Ula Sickle and Yann Leguay work with a strobe light and sound….
Sound&Vision bridges the intersections between music and visual performance. This is undoubtedly the major concert of a new generation for whom the musical—the musical gesture—circulates between eye and ear.
