INTERVIEW: ERIC DALBIN ON CONTEMPORARY CREATION

Wednesday, March 10, 2010

Dalbin for Aligre

8 LISTEN TO ERIC DALBIN’S INTERVIEW WITH RADIO ALIGRE on dalbin.com (in French only)

Eric Dalbin was invited by Véronique Godé, aka Orevo, for an interview on the radio show “Vive le cinéma” on Aligre FM to discuss Label Dalbin’s current projects, among them his work with Soundwalk and Philippe Starck for LE SON DU NOUS.

Dalbin initiated, directed and produced LE SON DU NOUS. An independent contemporary creation label founded in 2003 in Paris, Dalbin produces and publishes works of art, events and audiovisual content. They co-produced “Kill the Ego” from Soundwalk to Rostarr, which will be featured in the art collection iPhone app and website Collector Serie on March 21.

In this interview, Eric Dalbin speaks of  the idea of contemporary creation at the heart of his label, which seeks to support and be involved in artworks that cross the boundary between sound and image.

He talks about the artwork and artists that Label Dalbin has been working with in this vein: how he introduced Rostarr to Soundwalk’s Stephan Crasneanscki and Dug Winningham to make “Kill the Ego”, on the appearances of Xavier Veilhan and Sebastien Tellier on the film “Furtivo”…

Eric says of Collector Serie that its theory lies in an aspiration to build a collection of video artworks where sound and image can melt together and form a new media or ‘matière’. He is enthusiastic about the dematerialization of art distribution facilitated by new technologies. Collector Serie artworks will be available online (through the website Collectorserie.com) and on the iPhone/iPad.

Eric Dalbin gives a few sneak peaks into LE SON DU NOUS. Label Dalbin initiated the idea for this performance, an encounter between the designer Philippe Starck and the art collective Soundwalk centered around the quest for the essence of the human sound. LE SON DU NOUS will build a sound narration between Starck and Soundwalk, in which Starck will talk about his passion for sound, while Soundwalk will explore the history of sound, from pre-human sounds to sounds produced by human systems and constructions. This sound dialogue will be enhanced by intrumentalists, sound technicians (‘bruiteurs’), and the audience.

“KILL THE EGO” AT CENTRE POMPIDOU: 10 TICKETS TO WIN!

Monday, February 8, 2010

Soundwalk is very pleased to announce the screening of its movie “KILL THE EGO“ at Centre Pompidou’s Hors Pistes 2010: Un Autre Mouvement des Images festival in Paris on February 26.

Since 2006, the Hors Pistes festival has, “in examining new usages of contemporary imagery, shown the ruptures and departures that nourish traditional forms of film and narration. For this 5th edition, a double device illustrates the abundance and authority of images. The contemporary world firstly appears in the screened works, through the uncommon, unconventional and asserted vision of international artists.”
“KILL THE EGO” began as a song, as an epic 40-minute-long poem composed of 10 years of sound recordings captured in New York by Soundwalk between 1998 and 2008. The fragmented memories of poets and dominatrixes, of pimps and prophets, of visionaries and lost children – the gamut of stories from the street: of the most obscure corners, of underground unrest, intimate and universal biographies of Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx – Soundwalk has captured and woven together the sounds, conversations, and songs of urbanity. This soundtrack of New York City has been represented visually onscreen by the artist Rostarr, who used the sound recordings as a launch for an art series documented by directors Jim Helton and Ron Patane. Inspired by the technique used in Henri-Georges Clouzot’s masterpiece “Le mystère Picasso”, the directors sought to give life to the creative process and gave birth to the aural and visual work that is the film KILL THE EGO.
