..................................................................
“With ‘ANGLE’, we put our trust in the possible rejuvenation of the relationship binding electrical and acoustic instruments and their relationship to a transmission system. There is a part of immeasurable between the two, and this is something that we not only accept, but we want to deepen this divide to see what stays before starting off from what is left, which will indicate the direction we need to take, whether it be a cut, interaction, non-reaction, exaggerated guards, or pause at the worse possible moment. The experience is one to endlessly recommence. What is left should endlessly be re-evaluated. We depend on the situation as much as we can, as we are thus working on this dependency. When the research is made to music, when protocols are awakened by a situation, when relationships are organised according to that which is supposed to muddle them, a hairy forest of hertz that sometimes resembles the most arid of deserts, a grey over grey that encompasses as many rainbows as we want… the opposite?”
