#455. Radiofonic projects with ‘Would you Adam and Eve it’ and ‘Symphony For A City’.
1. Would you Adam and Eve it.
Daniel is walking in the mountains and shelters from the storm in a lion’s den. In need of a heavy, household object, Daniel and the lion write the bible together, to a soundtrack of synthesisers and recorders. Eve’s character is strong enough to break out into a different reality, and she finds her way into our times in the hope of rebuilding paradise.
Catherine and Lucinda Guy are English sisters who have been writing and performing silly songs and plays together all their lives.

2. Symphony For A City. (radia network/Radio Panik)
Subjectiv sound visit, “Symphony for a city” goes out of the field of reality in order to tranform it, mix it and make it sing. Based on records made during october 2022 in Bruxelles, this sound play distort the thousand noises of the city in order to make arrise his poetry, his rage, his rythm. In punctuation, daily words used in the french language like « bonjour » (hello), « oui » (yes), « non » (no) and « merci » (thank you) are declined in their infinites intonations. Oui don’t mean necessairly yes. Non can be sometimes be ask like a question. Merci is often used without a thought. Bonjour exist in a unconscious way but can also be used in very intimate opening to the closest persons. So many possibilities with which a game is established, first in solo and then with interactions between each words. This words, repeats, exhausted by repetition, loose then theirs significations for finaly just keeping theirs musicality, and theirs radicalness. Finaly, they enter into the landscape in which they are inscribed, in fake or in real.
This work would not have been possible without the meeting this summer 2022 of Arthur Lacomme and Domitille Devevey during the radio creation festival « Utopie Sonore ». The many “oui” heard were, by the way, collected from the participants of this festival.
This sound play was written with advices of Vincent Matyn and the kind listening of the Radio Panik team.
Finally, thanks to the voices, anonymous or friends, who punctuated this sound play.
