HF HFP by JMO

Julie Semoroz shapes sound with the use of several sources including field recordings, live microphones and her own voice with software and hardware. She offers sound pieces like inner journeys into the subconscious that penetrate into the darkness.

HF (2018) – performance – 20’
Using a high-frequency detector, Semoroz extracts the electromagnetic waves of the surrounding networks and antennas. The result is raw sound material, which is then shaped, controlled and broadcast again. The endless interference which contemporary mankind is subjected to is thus made perceptible.

HOLO FENG POPO, 2017
Commission, sound performance

Upon the request of Marco Costantini for the “Night of Museums”, she offered a sound piece in dialogue with a major piece by Miroir Miroir, Pierre-Laurent Cassière’s Distorsions. Drawn from Chinese mythology, Feng Popo is a deity personified by an old woman riding a tiger through the clouds. Called Lady Wind, she accompanies the god of thunder, Lei Gong, and the goddess Tian-Mu who causes lightning with mirrors. From darkness to light, from the inside to the outside, from entry into matter which is both wave and particle. Julie Semoroz builds links between the Chinese myth and holomatter in quantum physics, between sound installation and living beings; an organic universe at the heart of the invisible or the birth of a burst of sound and light.
