Artist-in-Residence at La Malterie (Lille)" ^ Hide Bio for Maxime Petit • Show Bio for Yann Gourdon As a musician, composer and sound artist I consider the vibratory fields and perception as a medium. My work privileges the observation of acoustic phenomena in dynamic relation with the environment - architecture / landscape. Together I practice the traditional musics of the Massif Central to the hurdy-gurdy. I approach this practice by listening to collections and conduct a research work on this repertoire within the collective La Nòvia . Through these different aspects of my work, I deal only with the qualities of sound. I only consider the work of sound in conjunction with an environment - a landscape or an architecture. My pieces are of an established duration and take the form of autonomous devices in that they do not require the intervention of an interpreter. The process involved reveals latent acoustic phenomena induced by the physical specificities of the sound propagation space. I work mainly from electronically generated pure tones, feedback or continuous sounds recorded and broadcast by means of amplified systems; Nevertheless there is no question of sound as an object - a loudspeaker, a sound, a listener. It is not enough for the listener to cross a space if his listening is oriented on the narrative object, he must move his attention to the vibratory fields. The device is not a visual pretext legitimizing the plasticity of the piece but is chosen for its qualities to emit sounds. I consider the volumes and the surfaces produced as a new possible place."

A Parisian artist active in many fields (music, visual arts, cinema), he has mostly worked in electro-acoustics but also has a career in free improvisation, playing alto saxophone, soprano saxophone, church organ, and piano. He has collaborated with Éric La Casa, Éric Cordier, and André Almuro on tape music. His main free improv and jazz projects include Hubbub, Schams, Return of the New Thing, and the Joe Rosenberg quintet. Guionnet made scientific studies before shifting to fine arts. He studied musique concrete under Iannis Xenakis and Michel Zbar, but also pursued studies in philosophy (esthetics) with Geneviève Clancy. His first works date from the late '80s and are mostly collaborations with filmmaker André Almuro (some have been issued by Ground Fault). Then came a lasting partnership with electro-acousticians Éric Cordier and Éric La Casa. Together they wrote the series "Afflux." Guionnet also produces the Ateliers de Création Radiophoniques ("creative radio workshops") for France Culture. His eclecticism has kept him at bay of recognition -- because to the eye of the press it strips him from some credibility and because running careers in philosophy (he was co-director for the review Terre des Signes from 1993 to 1996), painting (he exhibited from 1992 to 1997), and music simultaneously tends to be time-consuming. The release of an eponymous CD by Dan Warburton's free jazz quartet Return of the New Thing in 1999 on the respected label Leo Records introduced Guionnet to a wider audience. Since then his activities as an improviser have constantly stretched toward the fringes of experimentalism. His participation in the French-Swiss group Hubbub and his duo with guitarist Olivier Benoit (&Un, 2002) follow the school of Berlin reductionism." ^ Hide Bio for Jean-Luc Guionnet
