ST GERVAIS
Site Specific A/V installation, Geneva - Switzerland , 2010Visuals : Yannick Jacquet
Music : Thomas Vaquié
Live organ : Diego Innocenzi
Production : Mapping Festival
This audiovisual performance was developed by Yannick Jacquet and Thomas Vaquié, at the request of the organist of « le Temple de Gervais »,
for a presentation at the 2010 edition of Geneva’s Mapping Festival. Employing the latest digital technology, they created a dialogue between the church’s architecture,
the organ and electronic music, using the church’s vault and walls as an abstract narrative framework.
About The Music :
The music was composed inside the church, including the very special acoustics of this place in the creative process (about 8 seconds of reverberation time).
The will was to compare electronic sounds with the sounds of the organ to compose a very austere music in the manner of a Protestant cult.
