Belvédère Sonore Brussels
Belvédère Sonore is an imaginary structure built to take full advantage of the wind blowing through the pines or as a gazebo erected to enjoy the murmur of a fountain. During their residency at Q-O2, Jonathan Frigeri and Eric Desjeux have created music for three sculptures located in the city of Brussels, around the Place Sainte-Catherine. The presentation consists of a collective walk to experience the music in-situ.
The music for the sculptures will be broadcasted trough an FM emitter.

Belvédère Sonore Geneva
Paysages à écouter, musiques à regarder, œuvres à réinventer. Plus qu’un guide commenté en musique, ou une expérience de nouvelle médiation culturelle, les Belvédères Sonores se veulent une re-création artistique. À partir d’un choix d’œuvres d’art public plongées dans leur décor naturel et doublées de sons expressément conçus par des musiciens du cru, les BS proposent des déambulations augmentées biaisant art, musique et paysagisme. Une application téléchargée et l’usager muni de smartphone (et idéalement d’écouteurs) pourra se promener sans écarts de site en site, et plonger, le temps d’une plage sonore, dans l’aura d’une sculpture et de l’endroit de la ville qui l’abrite.

On Air
The music on the radio is background and must support an existing structure and leave space for discussion, other sounds, other sound events. Une musique d’habillement that is not invasive and that allows other things to exist.
The radio imposes a passive aspect of listening, unlike the cd or the vinyl, which requires us to be operators in addition to listeners. The music that comes out of the radio does not depend on our will, we can only decide to listen or not to listen, but the listening in itself largely preserves the characteristic of an event whose programming is entirely under our control. It is the music that comes to us and not us who go to the music.
