Jérôme Sueur – Inside the Rainforest 2/2

Sébastien Gaxie’s artistic research residency, which focuses on the sounds of the Amazonian forest, simply wouldn’t exist without him. Let’s meet with ecoacoustician and biodiversity specialist Jérôme Sueur, who was a crucial catalyst for this project–a project that could, in turn, provide his team at the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle with new tools to explore.

Emma Margetson / Spatial Materiality : From Centripetal to Centrifuge 1/2

During her residency at IRCAM, Emma Margetson explores IKO, an icosahedron-based loudspeaker system, to rethink sound projection and the materiality of space. Through a “centrifugal” approach, she investigates the relationship between acoustics, architecture, and compositional practice.

Emma Margetson / Spatial Materiality : A Little Backstory with Markus Noisternig 2/2

Echoing Emma Margetson’s residency at IRCAM, Markus Noisternig retraces the scientific and artistic history of IKO, an icosahedral loudspeaker designed to reproduce the directivity of acoustic sources. Bridging acoustic modeling and musical experimentation, he highlights the challenges of a technology at the intersection of research and creation.
