2016 – Mountain of Céüze, Hautes-Alpes, France
Sound performance, 100 people, 200 wind flutes.
On the top of Céüze, 100 people from the communes of Buëch-Dévoluy created an interactive human sound chain where the bodies and the wind mingled. Two hundred flutes lent themselves to the wind of Céüze, conductor of a wind concert. In a natural space, a place of astonishment, contemplation and sensitive experience, art, sounds and landscape have been brought together to reconcile man with nature. Through discreet and natural works, the artist has conceived a sound performance in harmony with the place.
The wind has no sound. The obstacles that he hurts produce it. The leaves rustling when he turns into a breeze, the sails that slam when he becomes Mistral are the signs of his presence, just as the wind instruments owe him their sound timbre. The challenge of Alejandro Guzzetti was to build a wind instrument that allows him to enjoy the fluidity of the wind in order to capture sounds. Through his research, he refined his technique and designed these long flutes creating a harmonious sound space.
