tekhnē podcast #3: Abigail Toll, Yann Leguay, Gauthier Deplaude & Rodolphe Bourotte
The tekhnē podcast series gives an insight into the activities of the project, featuring a variety of artists sharing knowledge around their work, discussing recorded material or curating playlists. It airs bi-monthly on Resonance Extra.
This third episode features four artists who took part in a research residency at GMEA during 2023 and 2024:
Gauthier Deplaude in an informal discussion with Benjamin Maumus about his project Horloges etc.. This work uses two quartz clocks and their electrical environment as the sole sound sources, within a unique technical setup created by the artist, without effects or attempts at control.
Rodolphe Bourotte tested his latest music production software, COMMA, during his residency. He engages in an informal discussion about his program and insights from his residency week.
Yann Leguay shares an anecdote about one of his early projects, Dead Media, which centered on reversing the recording process in a vinyl pressing factory in France that has since closed. He reflects on the notions of trace, media, and collective memory.
Abigail Toll presents Where Words Fail: World Building With Data, Sound, and Co-creation, a sound and interdisciplinary visual study that explores algorithmic herd behaviour in nature and its connections to surveillance practices.
