How do we know a dog is a dog, a nightingale is a nightingale, and a flute is a flute? Playing with sonic morphings and blurred identities, Diane Barbés live performance for a multichannel system presents several poetic pieces performed by an ensemble of handmade wind instruments and synthetic-acoustic sculptures built during her residency at Q-O2 in spring.
Diane Barbé works at the intersection of experimental music and anthropology. She is currently building wind and percussion instruments from organic materials and developing miniature multichannel sound sculptures. She practices field recording, scores for films, compositions for dance and theatre. Diane studied at the UdK Sound Studies Berlin and is currently based between Berlin and southern France.
