X-Peri-Mental #5 - Know your limits

After the new gears and the new sounds Dorianne and Exomène went back to work on X-Peri-Mental, our live audiovisual performance. Enjoy this 5th excerpt: "Know your limits"

We're currently looking for gigs, so feel free to leave a mail on exomene@gmail.com

In bed with...

Sorry if you're disappointed but Dorianne and I are not about to release our sex tape. But I made a soundtrack to illustrate her photo set "In bed with".

Since the bedroom is the very place of privacy and intimacy, I chose to use traditional instruments here: cellos and a tympanum. "In bed with" may remind you of "The trial" because of the similar instruments and structure.

You can listen and even download the track on Soundcloud

Enjoy!

Girl on drugs

Want to check an excerpt of my latest soundscape? So watch "Girl on drugs" a new short film by Dorianne Wotton with Physalis Penea as "Spectre". And if you want to dive completely in Dorianne's mood while shooting this film, you can read the poem she wrote about it

Why I call this an excerpt? Because it is the beginning of a piece I've been working on along with Requiem, that will be released in a while.

Side by side (teaser)

This is a teaser for the next audiovisual performance Dorianne Wotton and I are setting up which will deal with existential doubt, inner universes and the ambiguity of the feelings.

Stay tuned!

X-Peri-Mental (vol. 3)

Enjoy a new excerpt of the live audiovisual project X-Peri−Mental by Dorianne Wotton and Exomène: X-Peri-Mental (vol. 3). The motto here is "live, guts, and here we go!", that means Dorianne start her VJing software, I start my DAW, first image, first sound and here we go playing live with each other using our favorite form of expression.

In this one, I tried to be more electro than usual, I hope you'll like it. Anyway, any comment is welcome on the Vimeo page.

X-Peri-Mental (vol. 2)

Hi there!

This is a new video from the series X-Peri-Mental by Dorianne Wotton. She chose Exomène for her music, and I also played the "big black shape with eyes of fire" in the video.

Enjoy!

The Montanas (and friends)

Woot!

Dorianne Wotton chose my music to complement her latest video. A totally crazy unidentified footage object (UFO) where the two greatest filmed Montanas (Tony and Hanna) meets! The Scarface against the Clearasilface... whatever, you'll see by yourself! 

Doom!

This time Dorianne Wotton and Exomène collaborated on a video.

She videoscapped his sounds, he soundscaped her images. The result of this experiment in the aesthetic of distress is this video called Doom.

As usual, the track is on soundcloud for you to listen and download.

Ugly as memories

I made the track "Ugly as memories" as part of the Otorragie's project "The eye listens... the ear sees".

How can't you link a carrousel with childhood? And how can't you link a carrousel with that haunting and outmoded music they usually play, some kind of half forgotten waltzes already old-fashionned when my grand-parents were young?

So, I tried to render the music of childhood to illustrate this video of a carrousel. Fortunately, the video was shot perfectly to express the main problem of any reminiscence: memory. Changes in speed, colors, direction, differences in framing, movements of the camera... all of this shows how memory works. A remembrance is never ever an exact picture of the past. Each instance of a remembrance will generate a different mood and feelings according to you mood and feelings at the time you remember and to your evolving point of view on the time you are thinking about.

For example, most people will think their childhood was great. Really? Are you absolutely sure about that? Would you swear you were happier in middle high-school than now? Think twice ;)

Here is the video

And if you want to listen to the music alone, here it is

Wave of silence remixed by (o)†HERS

Maybe you remember the track I made for the "Wave of silence" project dedicated to the highlighting of the "silent" people all over the world that can't take part in the decisions that impact them.

This was quite a challenge to me since John Cage is an absolute reference to silence with 4'33"...

Don't worry, I won't explain it again, you can read the "Wave of silence" article on this website, this is the remix by (o)†HERS

Blasphemous rumours

Dorianne Wotton chose Exomène to soundscape her slideshow about religion called "Blasphemous rumours"

You can find this track in the set Bedtime stories on soundcloud

Mauvais genre

The photographer and videographer Dorianne Wotton chose Bloody Revenge by Exomène to illustrate her slideshow Mauvais genre about a certain idea of feminity.

You can listen or download Bloody revenge the track on soundcloud.

Untitled Duo

"Untitled duo" is the second collaboration between Lise Côme from the dance company "Compagnie en huit" and Exomène.

"Untitled duo" is a short composition, a dialogue between two dancers who use body movement as mechanical responses to the environment and to one another.

The video of this performance has been displayed at a festival at the Carosse in Paris.

Mutations - interdit au public

Lise Côme from the dance company "Compagnie en huit" asked me some music for a dance performance called "Mutations - interdit au public" 

"Mutations - interdit au public" is a short composition shot in a place of constant transformation: a building site hidden below a tunnel from the Petite Ceinture.

The video of this performance has been displayed at a festival at the Carosse in Paris.

Appetite for auto destruction?

Dorianne Wotton chose a track by Exomène to illustrate her slideshow "Appetite for auto destruction".

The track is not released yet since it will be part of a wider project to come.

Ego

Valentin Pringuay chose "Shopgirl" by Exomène to illustrate the new extract of his web novel "Instants d'éternité": Ego that you can read on Presse Citron (if you can read french).
