Vivisection

Album FR 2014 on Vibratvacuum label
Electronic and Spoken Word (Spoken Word, Noise)

inside notes : VIVISECTION is the result of a performance for electret microphone, power supply circuit, digital recorder, vice, pliers, cutter and knife. Realized twice it is now in the form of two sequences of digital samples. VIVISECTION is a time that flows towards something indeterminate, a research that destroys its object, while listening to the irreversible. It is a document that only testifies in the absence. It is the witness and the victim, the instrument and the object of a measure. It is a composition between two states. The allegedly audio samples presented here may ultimately be considered as a kind of electrocardiogram. They can be listened to as much as we can observe its waveform or its spectrogram, depending on the device used to read them. These data have not undergone any processing after their production , except for a normalization along the entire 16-bit resolution. VIVISECTION was created by Raphaël Ilias in June 2013 during a collective residence “Necrophonia / Life and Death of the microphone “ with Jacob Garet and Florian Tositti, at the pad (Angers, FR), with the support of the cie nathalie béasse.
