BZZZ! The sound of electricity - Performance & Installation

BZZZ! the sound of electricity - Performance from cecilebabiole on Vimeo.

Performance by Cécile Babiole and Quentin Aurat - Plateforme Paris 1st June 2012
"BZZZ! the sound of electricity" is a sound sculpture by Cécile Babiole.
Exhibition at Plateforme-Paris, June 2012

By reinventing an obsolete low-tech sound wave generator in this all-digital age, "Bzzz !" serves as a commentary on the history of technology and a tribute to unprocessed, unsampled analog sound : in a word, the raw sound of electricity.

The set : 6 micro-controlers, 6 resistors scales, 12 small PA et 24 small loudspeakers.

On the night of the opening of the exhibition, Cécile Babiole and Quentin Aurat played the sound sculture as a music instrument.
