Marie de la Nuit - Transportées - LP

Listen

Marie Guérin (aka Marie de la Nuit, meaning Marie of the Night) is a sound artist. Since 2001, she has been manipulating field recordings, radio archives, traces left on the airwaves by "hertzian ghosts". A mixture of voices, textures, grains, anecdotal sounds, her work questions the sound heritage, its supports and the traces left on these supports; her music passes from radiophonic grammar to music.

"Transportées is an electroacoustic work. From archaic to electronic trance, a musical thread runs from Brittany to Tunisia. We follow a trance-like path through recordings, traces of oral traditions. At the root of this composition is my taste for archives and my fascination with songs that have been captured, recorded and fixed. With my microphones,

I follow a documentary and musical path that, between Brittany, Germany and Tunisia, crosses the first sound recordings fixed on flat discs, oral transmission, the energy of the return to the homeland and a K7. On this K7, a mother passes on an endangered repertoire to her son, who records it. Transportées starts with this K7." Marie Guérin
