SPANDA
Immersive sound creation for vocal ensemble and electronics.
THE PROJECT
For several years now, Félix Bergeron (musician and composer of electronic music under the name IYNNU) and Jérémie Zwahlen (choral conductor - CHŒUR AUGUSTE/Chanson de Fribourg - and composer) have been collaborating on several choral creations. These various collaborations gave rise to the desire to develop an original creation combining choral art and electronic music, enabling them to explore the possible interactions between these two musical arts, at first sight very different and distant.
Indeed, bringing together the tradition of choral music with new technologies and electronic music means bringing together tradition and innovation, a music based on secular roots and a music in perpetual evolution with the times. It means creating and experimenting with a repertoire that looks resolutely to the future, but is based on a heritage that needs to be enhanced.
Thanks to this project, Félix Bergeron and Jérémie Zwahlen are the winners of the Suisa Foundation's Get Going scholarship in 2019. The grant was a precious help in their research, enabling them to explore, try out and experiment with the interweaving and fusion of these two worlds and their respective musical codes, in order to develop an original common repertoire.
The result is an immersive sound creation: SPANDA. Using the voice and, more broadly, the body as compositional material, interacting with a multi-broadcast electronic device, it was presented to the public from September 07 to 11, 2022 at the Forum de l'hôtel de la Ville de Lausanne (sold-out performance). The choice of a venue not initially intended to host such a creation reflects the composers' desire to propose a project that could be appropriated by the public space.
As a follow-up to this highly successful first phase of creation and composition, the two composers set themselves the goal of thinking up and conceiving a recorded version of the SPANDA project. However, the challenge was to retain the immersive aspect of the live version initially created - the audience was arranged in a circle at the center of 8 loudspeakers and 5 singers in motion. So it wasn't simply a question of recording the compositions, as would be the case for a more classical repertoire, but rather of re-imagining the project for audio broadcast using today's new immersive technologies (binaural technology and Dolby Atmos in particular).
It is the result of this immersive experience that Claves Records is releasing in December 2024 in CD and Digital formats.

CANTIQUE
Mère des particules
Père du Vide génial
Ô Noir lumineux
Fille d’infinies canicules
Fils des crevasses abyssales
Génie d’éthers merveilleux
Voici le Cantique du cantique
Le Chant des autres gravités
L’écho des esprits qui expliquent
Dessins en songes supervisés
Des enfants de tes vibrations
LES ARMÉES ET MURAILLES
Les armées et murailles de la Reine Macula
Défendent le Royaume des violences gamma
Les marteaux frappent des enclumes encore brûlantes
Les assauts claquent les cloisons sanguinolentes
Ivresse de Lumière
Ivresse d’éclat
Enveloppe éphémère
Armure de soie
Les boucliers ferraillent. Ils ne se rendent pas
Un doigt dans une paume arrête le combat
Le galop cesse. Le voile s’installe, éblouissant
Les eaux croisent le fer et rendent le sol adipeux
Une âme reçoit son premier souffle amoureux
LES MOTS
Les mots sont apparus.
J’AIME
Les sujets terrestres décrivent une orbite dont tu occupes le foyer.
Battements d’un coeur qui palpite - Fondamentaux dans l’immunité.
Le désespoir n’est plus continu mais discret
Mon vertige : un pulsar diffus et défait
Ta force de répulsion protège mon atome de l’instable
En approches perturbatives vers un royaume habitable.
Ta singularité masque les fossiles rayonnements
Ocre flottant, lumière mate et diffraction
Le rideau ferrique ondule dans l’espace en mouvement
Spin fluctuant, seconde quantification.
Résistance et détermination sur la balance des torsions
Convergence et modélisation : existences en oscillations
L’oeuf cosmique éclos dans le noir
Je vois le Beau dans ton miroir
LES AUBES
Corps plongé dans un fluide jamais au repos.
Poussée verticale des sangs, de l’être, du nouveau
C’est toi qui as formé mes reins
Naissance d’une conscience
Toi, qui m’as tissé dans ton sein
Chaos d’une turbulence
Une rivière aux brûlures délicieuses
Découle des glaciaux Calices
Fors intérieurs ou matrices
Accueillent l’incendie savoureuse
Les flots bercent et nourrissent
Ils détruisent et inondent
Ta créature s’anime dans le courant
Les aubes s’activent
Tournent à présent
D’une douleur sublime
J’aime et je ressens
LOUANGE
Nature des composites
D’Intensités sans équivalence
Andromède nous regarde et il danse
Éclair de Démocrite
Regarde le cercle en fusion
Des enfants de tes vibrations
