ARTE.TV REVIEWS EXIT FESTIVAL & LE SON DU NOUS
Thursday, March 25, 2010
Art and culture journalist Véronique Godé has provided a what’s what at the 2010 Exit Festival on the Cultures Electroniques page of French TV station Arte‘s website.
Godé profiles LE SON DU NOUS, performed this past weekend, immediately classifying it as a “unique, original” performance. The article leads with a review of Soundwalk’s preceding event, Kill the Ego. “[This film, conceived from an incredibly rich mix of extraordinary sound collected over 10 years in the streets of New York, brings the painter Rostarr to the scene, as he executes a prolific artwork of pictorial and graphic power, lifted by the kinetic energy of the audio track which propels us from jazz to funk to detours at a crossroads, or a conversation]“.
Recently presented at a sold out event at the Pompidou Center, “Kill the Ego” is, as of March 21, 2010, available for sale online: 300 editions are downloadable via the new iphone application, Collectorserie.
This year, writes Godé, “[Eric Dalbin brings us the New York [Soundwalk] collective on the big stage: two live performances, two unique evenings, original and ambitious, on the genesis of sound: sound engineers on the stage, sound artists in command, Philippe Starck playing a new role of MC. Will he find this original sound, the universal sound, everything that we are looking for, that which we call, the Sound of Us? We’ll find out…]”

KILL THE EGO AT CENTRE POMPIDOU A SUCCESS!
Monday, March 1, 2010
We were so pleased that so many of you turned up for Kill the Ego last Friday at Centre Pompidou, as a part of their Hors Pistes festival – both screenings were sold out and received with enthusiasm. Thanks to all of you for your support, and we hope you enjoyed the show!
Following the 8:00 screening was a discussion in which the artists spoke to the audience about the inspiration and motivation driving the film’s creation. According to the sound designers, among them Stephan Crasneanscki and Dug Winningham, the film plays with a recording’s unique ability to alter the reality of a sound: temporally, by allowing it to be heard long after it has in fact ceased, and contextually, by layering and mixing it with other sounds to create a new sonic text. The painter, Rostarr, commented on the project’s personal value to him as a means of expressing the important role that New York City has played in his life throughout the years he has called it home.
It was a great evening, and we’re looking forward to next event with Philippe Starck at the International Exit Festival in Paris later this month. Stay tuned for more details!
