Crane Lab II. Music by Pierre Boeswilwald, Alexandre Del Torchio and Yuko Katori.
Pierre Boeswilwald:
Born in 1934. Having been trained in the visual art, the theatre and the electronics, he has been devoted to all forms of electroacoustic music creation since 1953. Pierre collaborated with most pioneers of sound poetry, radio art and concrete music, and has actively participated to the evolution of electroacoustic art for more than 60 years, not only in France, but also internationally.
Pierre elaborates and develops particular electroacoustic music, that is based on the notion of sonic plasticity, temporal events and theatricalization of sound, being independent from the traditional rules of the instrumental music composition.

Alexandre Del Torchio:
Composer and a visual artist. After the graduation from Le Fresnoy, National Studio of Contemporary Arts in Tourcoing, he studied acousmatic composition with Régis Renouard-Larivière and at the CRD Pantin under the direction of Marco Marini and Jonathan Prager.
Through sound and installations, he explores the musical universe of the subconscious-underworld that is usually hidden from our perception.
He has received various prizes including the 2nd prize for his composition “Proliferation-Propagation” (2015), and also ‘the selected work’ in “Banc d’Essai” that was a competition organised by the GRM Paris (2015).
Other recent projects include creating music for a documentary film “The Thief of Dreams” by Chilean director René Ballesteros, supported by SACEM (2016).
