Orgone

Orgone is an ensemble for contemporary percussion in Nantes and the region. Orgone is a hyperthetical energy discovered by the psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich and recovery in several books of the beat poet William Burroughs. It is for Orgone to create a space dedicated to the interpretation of contemporary percussion pieces at the limit of the genre. There is no indication of the level required of percussionists but rather to have an interest in playing with a group in experimental percussion and being prepared to interpret graphic scores or follow a direction often with game mode specifics.

Several sessions are scheduled once a month and already several composers, musicians have expressed an interest to offer peices for this ensemble.

Composers: Z’EV, Jason Kahn, John Cage, Earle Brown, James Tenney, Jerome Joy, Burkhard Beins, Cornelius Cardew, Karlheinz Stockhausen, D’incice.

Big contemporary percussion concert

Big contemporary percussion concert Orgone is a hypothetical energy discovered by the psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich and repeated in several books by the poet William Burroughs.

I have been making machine to compose new music since over two decades now. My aim is to propose a music that goes beyond its production by human hands. If human are needed to write the codes or the mechanism, he/she is no longer required to compose or play in the classical sense of the writing and the performance. On the other hand, this specific music-machine composer propose a continuum-flux of bells sound with large amount of silence and pauses and it had been conceptualized for a domestic environment but also for a distant listening that permits to think and connect with our living houses. This streaming continuum-flux that most of you could listen in a non-stop sound environment installation with light random changes in the pitch, silence and rate of the sound. It allows those who listen to think, read or meditate in their living spaces. Its musical purpose falls into the everyday life permanent state of listening and makes you aware of your surroundings sounds and acoustic space.
