Florent Colautti - e-String (France)
Florent Colautti's e-String is a home-built string instrument with electromagnetic bows (e-bow) piloted by the computer.
He explores the internal energy of sound, its friction, its beats. The road travels between the accumulation and evaporation, the stubborn pulse and harmonic sound. Thus, energy and emotional tension tend to listen and capture the hearing by mixing and interactions of matter. The work borrows a plastic way to get to the heart of the matter, his mutation.
Florent places a rubber band stretched to weather and minimal paths to better engulfed in dense and rough cuts. The piece is a common task that could not exist without the interaction of waves.
