Sonic Treatise
Inspired by the chapel of Greylight Projects, an independent artist run organization based in Brussels (BE) and in Hoensbroek (NL). The in-situ sound performances of Pak Yan Lau and Caroline Profanter will be adapted to the chapel acoustics. The performances might embrace selected reverberations of concepts from the film The window of dreams that will be projected. A sonic prayer to a place to continue to resonate.
Curated by Nathalie Papillon.

Caroline Profanter
Caroline works in the fields of electro-acoustic music and sound-art as a composer and musician. Her work oscillates between acousmatic composition for multi-channel sound systems, live performance and installation with a focus on imaginary soundscapes and sonic narratives. She collects field recordings, combines them with electronics, and explores the grey zones in between. She creates pieces for instruments and live-electronics based on graphical notation together with music ensembles, and collaborates regularly with artists of other fields, at the crossroad to literature, video and radio art.
Recently presented LIVE ACOUSMONIUM spatialisation, for the live set by Teresa Cos. On the occasion of the exhibition The Measure of Disorder by in Argos, Brussels.
The window of dreams, by Cendrine Robelin (film)
Documentary. with English subtitles, 58 min
This film revealed an initiatory journey to the land of concrete music, with foremost
pioneers Bernard Parmegiani and Lionel Marchetti. It's a process of encounters and
transmissions between the generations of analog and virtual.
The film arouse the possibility of appropriating quotidian voices, 'dirty' sound sources
by recording them. It’s about a strong dedication to the power of transforming our
perception of sounds, simply by the aesthetic experience of listening. The director will be present for a short introduction, and questions-answers in the bar in-between the sets. http://cendrinerobelin.com/
