DESCRIPTION:
Music, painted box of the generic and film by Marc-Henri Arfeux.

"Promenade Improvisation" ("Walk Improvisation"), is what was filmed of a mini concertI gave on the 4th of June. This performance of improvisation lasted 30 minutes but in the middle of it, the filming was interrupted by chance and reloaded so that only a part of this set was finally shot. Nevertheless, it gives a good idea of what I have done and of the circumstances of this mini concert.
I was invited by the association Arthésée to perform electronic improvisations in an exhibition of paintings by Erro, one of the most famous masters of the european creation influenced by many currents among which Fluxus, Cobra, the new figurative school of the sixties, comics, etc.
The principle of this action was that I would start to play while the visitors of the exhibition would walk among the paintings and watch them, during 30 minutes. They would have the choice to come and sit behind me, to remain in front of the paintings or to go out after their visit.
On the film you see some to the visitors finish to gather and sit behind me. At the opening, there is only one person, and during the performance, others come and sit to listen. The performance ends with the persons who decided to stay in the room.
I play on my favorite Virus TI. Of course, all sounds are my creation.
I thank Thésée, founder and president of Arthésée to have given me the opportunity to live this very singular and fascinating experience.
The mysterious painted box you see at the beginning of the film is a work I created between April and May of this year. It has no relationship with the painting exhibition, but I preferred to show it instead of works by Erro for rights reasons.
