about

live performance of "CATHODE" by Boris Allenou

Boris Allenou is an independant electronic musician and sound artist from Paris, France and living in Davis California. Improviser, sound hacker, instruments builder, and eternal dreamer his work is varied and goes in a lots of direction with only one goal at the end : experimenting. His work and research took place at a cross road between experimentation, sound ecology (creation of ecosystems), multi-media and electronic lutherie (the craft of building instrument).

Cathode is a sound and visual installation using the main symbols of waste and overproduction in our society: old cathode ray televisions.Like most of the electronic devices that we use, they become obsolete before even not functioning anymore. Re-using them is a way of questioning our existence as human-being groups producing and consuming.
Based on technical principles and researches such as interaction between sounds and images, feedback, sonic drones or spatialisation, this live performance is an ongoing exploration of inaudible vibrations that surround us in urban areas, focusing here on those of old televisions. Cathode fits in the wider domain of sound ecology. It constitute an attempt to answer how individuals, groups, or societies interact and live with sounds.
