16.09 | Ateliers Sonic Kids + Soirée Sonic Live

This workshop proposed by the performer and holistic masseuse, Isa Belle, is an introduction to the benefits and the physical properties of sound, and the use of “singing bowls” (ancestral Tibetan bowls and more recent ones made out of crystal). The bowls played on and around the body of the person who is lying (according to the energy points), produces vibrations which mass and wrap the body and relax it like a soft ré-harmonising and re-energising wave. Isa Belle couples this body sound initiation with the delicate fragrances of essential oils, of which she also plays according to their specific properties.

A space made up of about fifteen different instruments invites parents and children to let their desires free to play with sounds. The characteristics of these sound structures offer the participants a broad field of discoveries, experiments, improvisations and exchanges.

Production Transcultures

Ben Bertrand is a clarinetist who evolves in the classical/contemporary scene. He imagined a device which enables him to transform the natural sound of his instrument into electronic sounds that enables him to create loops and to orchestrate it live, to create solo performances.

Between chords and vague beats

Between cords (Jean D.L.) and pleasant waves (Karen Willems) and restraints, they balance panoramic views. We know what hides behind them; something dissolves between their hands. They remind us of the kitchen… when it is dark and empty in the morning… and they play in this room… as if they wandered the street, in search of what belongs to us.
