Akousmaflore - Sensitive and interactive musical plants
scenocosme : Grégory Lasserre & Anaïs met den Ancxt

Akousmaflore is a small garden composed of living musical plants or flowers, which react to human gestures and light contact.
Each plant reacts in a different way to contact or heat by a specific sound. The plant language occurs through touch and the close proximity of the spectator.

Our invisible electrical aura acts on the plant branches and encourages them to react. The plants sing when the audience lightly stroke or pass in the immediate vicinity to them. A flower concert is created.
In our artwork, we create hybrids between plants and digital technology. Plants are natural sensors and are sensitive to various energy flows.

Digital technologies permit us to have a relationship with plants and sound.
We display the effects of random data flow and plant interaction. The data is modified as the spectator meanders around and touch the installation, resulting in a random musical universe. Audience gestures and movements generate sound effects and changes in the texture of the sound.

SpherAleas - Tridimensional interactive / sound / image installation
scenocosme : Grégory Lasserre & Anaïs met den Ancxt : www.spheraleas.com

SphèrAléas is made of a half-spherical structure and of an evolutionary device wich makes man, image and sound interact thanks to digital tools. The machine becomes the creator’s ally to produce pictural and sonorous shapes. This space is ideal for collective performances; it accommodates in its centre a constellation of visible shapes, sound loops and luminous vibratory elements

Each participant gives himself up to this sensitive complicity cradled by flows of random emotions, justifying its necessity by the sole vivacity of the present meeting.

The scenography is designed for complete immersion of the spectator thanks to interactive sensors, a multipoint sound diffusion, a video projection system (180°), within a half spherical membranous architecture.
Within this half-sphere, the spectator manipulates and influences the artwork. He is invited to create, to try out or feel pictural and sonorous structures reminiscent of the living world. Through his performance, the spectator develops a work made of hypnotic universes. He becomes creator and explorer of a microcosm born of sound and image samples.
The show is ever changing….

Alsos*- Sound creation comes from light intensity
scenocosme : Grégory Lasserre & Anaïs met den Ancxt

Like in the tales, the spectator enter inside a fantastic forest, with a flashlight.
He discover a strange vegetation made of luminescent lianas and flower. The black light transforms space and perceptions. The fluorescent flowers react to the modifications of luminous flows. Each flower camouflaged light sensors in their pistil. They are connected to distinct sonorities enables it to generate a complex acousmatic universe evolving according to the light intensities.

Ephemeral firmament - Performance / concert scenocosme : Grégory Lasserre & Anaïs met den Ancxt

Gregory Lasserre & Anais met den Ancxt from Scenocosme play in live with a specific interface for visual and sound creations : Aleas. Aleas interface reveals visual and sound performances to spectators. They see and hear on live various handling of the duet. Indeed, during interventions, the sound takes shape in the circular space of projection. Here the musical intervention is also an invitation to contemplation. Myriads of visual and sound shape are accumulating in hypnotic superpositions of sounds. Each performance offers a new dialogue or visible duel. In the opposite of the standard veejaying and deejaying performances, the spectator follows exactly the musical and visual evolution as well as the performers. Here, everything is revealed and linked. The duel reveals moments of complicity, doubts, errors, chaos... but which constitute the origin of creation of these micros-universes. Each performance offers a multitude of possibles made by minimalist elements. The musical dialogue gives life to sound creations in suspension. In connivance with repetitive music, the duo plays with unstable and reactive sounds.Scenocosme tries to immerse spectators in body experiment into a sound space favourable for daydream. + more information

Métamorphose éphémère - Performance / concert / danse scenocosme : Grégory Lasserre & Anaïs met den Ancxt & Giovanna Parpagiola

The performance "Métamorphose éphémère" born after from our meeting with the dancer Giovanna Parpagiola. This project was also born after long experimentation in our visual and sound immersive installation SphèrAléas. In "Métamorphose éphémère" a scenic relation was created with our musical software Aléas. The dance is for this spectacle an additional visual form, a matrix of metamorphoses, a drop, a trace, a mass, a consistency which will evolve/move slowly during the performance. Body in change in a microcosm’s in perpetual change. This interaction between performers and dancer will generate a dialogue where the concepts of verticality and horizontality cross. A module of tracking camera makes it possible to collect the gestures and movements of the dancer which are used as instruments of sound creation. The body generates to him also its own musical quality and variation of luminous colours. + more information
