Chanter comme des oiseaux

Chanter comme des oiseaux (Singing like birds), Portfolio, 2020.

7 music scores drawn on printed Hahnemühle paper 220 g/m², 29.7 × 42 cm (11.7 × 16.5 in) each, portfolio in canvas board + inside flaps, fastening ribbons, 31 × 42.5 cm (12.2 × 16.7 in).

Seven scores, each comprising two different songs, were composed after listening to bird songs from all over the world recorded by amateur ornithologists. One discovers unknown birds, whose names form a poetic universe in themselves. Their songs are described using the memory of human or mechanical sound experiences — throat scrapings, children's cries, complaints, but also bicycle pumps, trumpets with mute, etc. The intonations, pitches and lengths of sounds are suggested by signs drawn above each bird mentioned.
