Tracto
Audiovisuelles Werk
Tracto is a visual and sonic journey through the inside of a bass saxophone. The visual trip
is made with a medical video-endoscopes as if it was a digestive tract. The end of the trip,
the musician's mouth, appears as a promise of a new body and a new journey not so
different from the previous. Tracto is an interaction between the shown and the hidden,
the transgression of the unseen. The music is a composition created from sound samples of
the instrument itself, recording only the organic sounds, without generating any note.
Tract is the image of an inert place, that, when touched, becomes an organic center, a
confluence of the dry and the moist, the perfect and the throbbing, the calculated and the
unpredictable. It is a journey through a preserved interior, the dark cave from whose holes
breath, halite and noise arise.
