7 haïkus for a turntable

2024
Institut français program
Escape, digital generations

At the crossroads of media, Yann Leguay sets up situations in which our relationship to the technical object and to our musical history takes a new perspective: "When listening to a record, I often wonder if it's really the turntable which turns the disk on its axis, or if, ultimately, the disk is stationary and it is the whole earth which is rotating below? A circumstantial and ephemeral experimentation around the vinyl record, “7 haikus for a record player” is the capture of this performance in 7 acts.

"7 haikus for a turntable" is a performance in which I seek, at the same time, to concentrate the story of the discoveries I have made over the years working on vinyl records but also change the relationship we have with music and sound. By moving the habit from conventional concert to through situations of musical objects. This is the video recording of a performance between music and installation. Through the history of the vinyl record and exploring various unexpected ways of reading this medium, this performance sensitive oscillates between old techniques of disc reading and new technologies of subtle and playful way. 7 haikus for a record player is unfolded into 7 distinct parts, each with their own title:


- Planning permission .
- Zaventem will not happen
- Is the system solar?
- Diminished reality
- An attempt to cancel the rotation of the earth
- The Emerald Table
- The new rurals
And each functioning as an object poem, where the elements are arranged progressively in order to create a metaphorical meaning, not without a certain humor.
