Tania
Mouraud, one of France's leading contemporary artists, entertained a Saturday
afternoon art crowd at the Dominique Fiat Gallery in the Marais quarter of Paris.
Mouraud, who just released a CD of experimental music (Unité de Production
#4) played live with her group: Tania Mouraud : voice, clarinet, live electronics;
Lucile Dautriche : voice; Cyprien Dedeurwaerder : microphones; Pierre Petit :
violin; Marie-Odile Sambourg : sound objects, microphones and, Baptiste Vanweydeveldt
: prepared guitar. The
music which lasted more than one hour included loops of Martin Luther King's speeches,
nails and brass rings dropping on a miked sound board, the guitarist slashing
the strings with a variety of objects (and playing until the very last string
was busted) and an assortment of violins, accordions, and computer generated sounds.
The results were joyous, mysterious and evanescent swells of music and cacophony.
