On March 15th at 7pm, VIDEOFORMES takes over the Lieu-Dit (Clermont-Ferrand) for an evening devoted to emerging creation in the field of hybrid and digital arts.
With a wide-ranging program, from installations to audio-visual performances and video screenings, the Nuit Hybride showcases the richness of young contemporary creation.
This highlight of the VIDEOFORMES festival is designed as an opportunity for emerging artists and higher education students to share their work in a festive and convivial setting.
Nacht II is a musical project in which multiple voices converse: from the lyrical to the guttural… with electronic music characterized by textures that are as abrasive as they are atmospheric, accompanied by fragments of minimal and monochromatic generative images. A synesthetic and contemplative proposition, Nacht invites spectators to what might initially appear as an initiatory experience, a ritual that gradually transforms into a physical, sensory experience where the environment, landscape, and elements constitute an inexhaustible source of inspiration, an extension echoing creativity.
The performance is conceived as a phantasmagorical journey in a constantly evolving movement where all elements—sounds, bodies, light, environment—interact, fostering the emergence of an unpredictable universe. Designed to express the idea of the transformation of the universe through song, the singer here is the focal point of this transformation, with their voice rising to crystallize a new living and intentional form of the Nacht II universe.
D’Autres Cordes, founded in 2009 by Franck Vigroux, is devoted to contemporary musical creation, combining electronics, experimental music, and live performance. Under the direction of this polymorphous composer and performer, the works merge powerful sonic textures, visual installations, and diverse artistic collaborations. Through a transdisciplinary approach integrating theater, dance, and video, the company strives for immersive experiences, continually renews its musical language, and asserts an identity firmly focused on sonic innovation.
Nacht II est un projet musical dans lequel dialoguent des voix multiples: du lyrique au groll… avec une musique électronique aux textures aussi abrasives qu’atmosphériques et des bribes d’images génératives minimales et monochromes.
Proposition synesthésique et contemplative Nacht invite les spectateurs à ce qui, à priori pourrait ressembler à une expérience initiatique, un rituel qui se transforme peu à peu en une expérience physique, sensorielle où l’environnement, le paysage, les éléments, constituent une inépuisable source d’inspiration, un prolongement en écho à la créativité.
La performance se conçoit telle une traversée fantasmagorique dans un mouvement en constant évolution où tous les éléments, sons, corps, lumière, environnement interagissent, favorisant l’apparition d’un univers imprévisible. Conçu pour exprimer l’idée de la transformation de l’univers par le chant, le chanteur est ici le point focal de cette transformation, avec son chant qui s’élève pour cristalliser une nouvelle forme vivante et intentionnelle de l’univers de Nacht II.
