Cascades

by Franck Vigroux and Antoine Schmitt
2022

Cascades is an audiovisual project inspired by the concept of waterfalls, here represented by flows of pixels whose movements are generative, meaning never the same. For the music, this same concept is used as inspiration to compose music using electronic instruments, a sort of continuum reminiscent of surge and immutability...

The result of a decade-long collaboration between the two artists, Cascades represents both infinite movement and stability, yet where catastrophes can occur: a synesthetic artwork—both contemplative, reflexive, and a physical experience.

Cascades is an electroacoustic and live electronic piece, created in part in 2022 and completed in 2023. This work, lasting just over 40 minutes, can be performed as a standalone concert or accompanied by a generative video created by artist Antoine Schmitt.

Franck Vigroux himself performs this piece with a tape/sampler interaction and live electronics. It can be played on a stereo system or projected onto an acousmonium.

Cascades is inspired by the symbolism of waterfalls, representing both perpetual motion and an immutable form. The music was primarily composed using electronic materials, evoking a kind of continuum that recalls both momentum and immutability. The overall idea was to explore the duality between infinite movement and stability while integrating elements of catastrophe, thus offering a synesthetic experience that is at once contemplative, reflective, and physical.
