clément édouard | dix ailes
Dix Ailes is a musical proposal for 2 female voices, 1 percussionist, 1 electronic
device and 1 place with high reverberation. Between minimalist music and pure
pop, Dix Ailes plays on an acoustic illusion, that of making indistinguishable the
origin of the sound (instrumental, loudspeaking or architectural), based on work
on harmonics, frequency vibrations, the physical resonance of the place, psycho-
acoustics. Essentially centered on the voice, Dix Ailes addresses the notions of
empty and full, of internal listening and silence, of liminarity and transformation.
By a principle of initial composition based on symbols and archetypes, the
music of Dix Ailes echoes universal rituals and myths, and shares with them a
language that tempts to escape the sequences of rational logic, and thus to open
up to an contemporary poetic landscape, made of archaic and invisible.
