Mesomeria
‘Mesomeria’ is born from the creative collision of Aude Langlois and Felipe Vareschi. Based on their shared interest in unconventional sound textures and curiosity for technical experimentation in the service of sound, the duo directed their microphones on a piano, an accordion, a modular system and a loudspeaker. Two long improvisation sessions followed, during which Aude apprehended the prepared piano with screwdrivers, hammers and other found objects, and Felipe reinterpreted this chaotic signal using his modular system and feedback techniques. What follows is a sonic documentation of these improvisational exchanges between the artists, their instruments and the space that held them.
Aude Langlois
Originally from France, Aude Langlois is a sound artist and composer based in Berlin for the last decade. She is a graduate of “Sound Studies” at the University of Arts in Berlin and of “Music and Musicology” at Paris-Sorbonne.
In her artistic journey, she has delved into tools for spatializing her sound works, pushing the boundaries of auditory experience. Engaging in discussions on the dichotomy between lo-fi and hi-fi clichés, she explores the nuances and implications of these contrasting sound qualities. Her work also critically examines our evolving perception of new media, shedding light on how it is increasingly perceived as overpowering rather than sensorially stimulating.
Through these explorations, her goal is to continuously challenge and expand the listener's auditory and perceptual horizons. Taking on various forms – from live performance and multichannel composition to projects with fellow sound artists, filmmakers, dancers and visual artists - her work can be heard in films, documentaries, theater pieces and music releases.
Felipe Vareschi
Felipe Vareschi is an Experimental Electronic Musician, Performer and Mastering Engineer based in Berlin. Their work explores the way people interact with each other through objects, with a particular focus on the interactions between individuals, technology and nature.
Felipe Vareschi is developing musical languages where interactions between electronics, sound objects, performers, installation sites and audiences mimic social interactions and human-object networks. These techniques cover a broad range of approaches, including Generative Algorithmic Composition, Gestural Performance, Field Recording and Spatial Sound Installations.
Beyond the conceptual drive that motivates their sound practice, Felipe strongly believes in the unique power of sound to provoke discourse around the underlying systems that guide our everyday life. Inspired by the physical and imaginary sounds of everyday life, Felipe aims to empower listeners to value and participate in the soundscape around them and embrace the noise of interconnected life.
