sound of life

 

from social sciences to radio to film sound mixing to field recording to meeting people to audio art / interaction, the sound artist Gaël Segalen records field-sounds of disoriented scenes of everyday life in different languages, that aim towards a vital fiction. The cultural borrowings and their fantasies, language, eclectism, the suburban and communautarian cultures are some of the themes of her spoken sequences. More than a testimony, the mic offers an improvisation space to think forward in an offshored world. It is a pretext to meet people and to have many talks. She collaborates on projects of audiowalks and geolocated environment creations, including with the parisian MU Collective, conducts sound workshops and teaches listening and sound experimentation at ESEC, school of cinematic studies in Paris.

 

Des sciences humaines – à la radio – au son des films – à la délocalisation – au field recording – à l’audio art / interaction,  l’artiste sonore Gaël Segalen est née plusieurs fois pour les “sons de la vie” et synthétise expériences éclectiques et voyages. Elle enregistre, souvent en langues étrangères, des scènes de vie courantes dépaysées qui tendent vers le désir d’une fiction vitale. Plus qu’un témoignage, le micro offre un espace d’improvisation pour se mettre en scène et se projeter dans un monde délocalisé. Il est un prétexte de rencontre et de dialogue.
