▁▂▃Protocols for Collective Performance▃▂▁

Since everything seems to be a mise en abyme, this page is going to be all about protocols, in order to be meta and in harmony with this Special Issue's title.

Protocol for a field recording

Audio file taken from aporee.org near the Balma-Gramont metro station in Toulouse.

Map of France to locate Toulouse

Context

Map of Toulouse to locate the place of the recording

This precise place is actually one of the city's borders. It makes the connection between Toulouse and the city called Balma, which is in the North-East.
On the photo above, you can see the Hers river, and a bridge, on which the metro passes (hear it at 01:49). Near this precise point on the map is a big commercial complex, lots of companies and an entrance to the highway. So this is obviously not the place you would expect to hear the birds. Yet, here they are! 🐦‍⬛

Memory from the place

• Choose a date in the calendar, maybe the day you lost the DB :(( and set it as a holiday.
• Tell your boss/clients/whoever you want you're in grief and need a mourning leave.

Protocol for Canon Music

Session with Michael - 14/10/2024
Reading and acting the Clapping Music

The pattern is 3-2-1-2 and it's looping. What happens when the second clapper enters and loops their part?
→ It become a canon!
What would be a better way of writing this partition?
→ In a wheel!
It feels like unveiling a secret hidden in the partition - like solving a riddle!
