FR Test/Tone - Installation pour enregistrements, plans et hauts parleurs. La Cartonnerie/Palais du Tau, Reims (France), 2007. A travers les filtres que constituent les parois d'un bâtiment et les complexes réseaux électriques qui composent son système nerveux, le son transparaît comme une matière résiduelle de son activité, érodée par l’architecture. La situation géographique de ces phénomènes acoustiques, est, elle, représentative de la nature de cette activité. Test/Tone est un espace d'écoute résultant d'une étude du bâtiment la Cartonnerie, lieu dédié à la diffusion de musiques amplifiées comportant 2 salles de concert, plusieurs studios, locaux techniques et zones d'accueil du public. L'espace est constitué de 10 hauts parleurs diffusant une pièce exclusivement composée de prise de sons issues du bâtiment. Ces enregistrements (vibrations, champs magnétiques, flux de public ou activité des personnels travaillant sur place), mettent en avant des images sonores quasi inaudibles du lieu. La disposition des hauts parleurs dans le dispositif installé est-elle définie par un travail de cartographie établi au fil des captations et faisant apparaitre des zones de flux sonore importantes du site. Test/Tone est un travail de phonographie urbaine, à la fois réduction de la géographie d'un lieu et agrandissement de son environnement sonore. Thomas Tilly, 2007. ENG Test/Tone - Installation for plans, recordings and speakers. La Cartonnerie/Palais du Tau, Reims (France), 2007. Through the filters constituted by a building's walls and the complex electrical network composing its nervous system, sound appears as a residual matter of the building's activities, eroded by the architecture. The geographical situation of these aucoustical phenomena is representative of this activity's nature.Test/Tone is a listening space, created through a study of the building that hostes La Cartonnerie, dedicated to amplified music and composed by two concert halls, several studios, technical premises and a reception area. The space is defined by ten loudspeakers wich broadcast a work exclusively composed of sound recordings made in the building. These recordings (vibrations, magnetic fields and sounds from influx of visitors or employees working) put foreward some almost inaudible resonant images of the building. The loudspeakers' placing inside the device has been determined while picking up sounds by a cartographical work making the place's most important zones of intense sound flows appear.A work of urban phonography, Test/Tone is both a retranscription on a reduced scale of a place's geography and an enlargement of it's sound environment. Thomas Tilly, 2007. credits released September 1, 2016 All sounds, compositions and installation created and recorded in 2007 for Elektricity Festival by Thomas Tilly. Composed and mixed at Centre de création national Césaré, Reims, 2007. Thanks to Rachel Cordier, Cyril Jollard, Christian Sebille, la Cartonnerie.
