birds(flock)
(birds)flock, bird songs installation drawn from the bird sound guide J-C Roché & Jerome Chevereau and soundtrack of selected songs, in 2016.
(birds)flock is part of BreathSound research project.
The installation includes 365 songs of birds drawn. The number of drawings presented varies depending on the venue.
The drawings of the series (birds)flock consists of a visual interpretation of the sounds. Produced with limited tools (some colored felts) by listening to sound recordings of various birds, these drawings move freely in the sound-graphic sphere of complex sound, and form, as a unit, an organized mass, like a birds flock in full whistling flight. – Jérôme Dupeyrat
