Ondes
Récit d’aventures, d’harmonies et d’imaginaires sobres

Les idées reçues sur la musique électronique ont la vie dure. Quand on s’interroge sur les nouvelles manières de diffuser et de produire on se heurte à des murs parfois systémiques. Renouer avec le vivant avec une pratique des plus technologique offre un terrain de jeu et d’exploration qui a besoin d’être documenté et expérimenté. Les nouvelles contraintes de sobriété et d’autonomie font parties intégrantes de ces nouvelles échelles raisonnables de création. « Ondes » est la preuve de concept qu’il est possible de danser, écouter, ressentir en consommant moins - l’équivalent de faire bouillir de l’eau ou de quelques minutes de clim’ - mais également de pouvoir performer en autonomie et en mobilité. Tom Leclerc est ingénieur et artiste et travaille à l’élaboration, l’écriture et la documentation de ces nouveaux moyens.

Waves
A Tale of Adventures, Harmonies, and Sober Imaginaries

Stereotypes about electronic music are persistent. When we contemplate new ways of broadcasting and producing, we often encounter systemic obstacles. Reconnecting with vitality through a highly technological practice provides a playground for exploration that needs to be documented and experienced. The new constraints of sobriety and self-sufficiency are integral parts of these new, rational scales of creation. "Waves" is a proof of concept that it is possible to dance, listen, and feel while consuming less - the equivalent of boiling water or a few minutes of air conditioning - and also to perform independently and on the go. Tom Leclerc is an engineer and artist working on the development, writing, and documentation of these new means."

"EN//
The Residence - The Tale of Silence - in Auvergne, France is a collaboration between photographer Joséphine Leroux and artist/musician Tom Leclerc. Capturing suspended moments of life, composition, exploration, and optimism lie at the heart of this journey of writing and documenting Tom's upcoming album. This album is the creation of a genuine natural park that can be listened to, where details, microcosms, and sonic curiosities blend in a unique acoustic ballad.

The challenge today is to offer a new, friendly, inspiring, and curiosity-inducing imagination for the delicate and bucolic nature. With this collaboration, it is also a genuine artistic exploration of the narrative of tomorrow and tranquility.

Armed with his experience with the Moss Explorer collective, Tom Leclerc is accustomed to the mountains and their inspiring secrets, which lead him to discover new forms of art production and dissemination in nature. Composing with nature is not an easy task; one must learn to let go.

In the age of capitalist anxiety, the search for tranquility becomes a difficult endeavor. And when we finally find it, we are already thinking of finding it again. In these places, the natural and ephemeral orchestra is alive; it can invite us to compose with it. I seek to bear witness to these moments to offer the world these new imaginaries.

And there are those moments, at the turn of a mountain's contour, where sound comes to life and offers us a true tale of silence.

"« Tom Leclerc is part of Moss Explorers which is a multidisciplinary cultural and artistic association, between laboratory and exploratory discovery of new forms of dissemination and artistic expressions. This French collective of artists explores nature, mountains, and forests through sound and image. They hike and capture the beauty of wild nature in analog photography. Armed with their equipment, they film ambient sound performances that combine recordings of the natural environment where they take place and improvisations with a modular synthesizer. This is what we can see and hear from their excursions into the splendid untouched nature.
This association also includes a real laboratory of arts and techniques, questioning new forms of cultural diffusion. Transmission and awareness are also at the heart of this particular facet. Real efforts are being made to popularize and document these techniques: production of light scenography, energy autonomy, printing, production, etc. Many areas are addressed by the collective. Keeping in mind systemic and ecological issues, the collective also sensitizes cultural actors.
It is through this multidisciplinary approach that this project mixes the arts and can forge links between musicians.ne, photographer, visual artist, poet.sse and other artists as well as various craftsmen or public. Leaving free their imagination this collective allows the incubation and realization of the eclectic and conscious project.
In this changing world, we need to systematically change the arts, productions, and broadcasting. Many concepts are addressed by the collective, especially in terms of digital and new ways of designing devices for live performances, installations, and performances. This comes in large part through a low-tech approach to digital art. Given the climate emergency, it is important for artists to be at the forefront of new techniques requiring sensitivity and accessibility. Awareness of the impact of art and digital technologies is also a point of honor, as is the knowledge of equipment and material choices. Beyond the technical aspect, there is a new way of living and creating. We can talk about 'project infusion' with the idea of soaking up a place in the long term in order to better understand the social fabric of these territories and to do the best for them."
