A
performance based on a workshop held in Nantes exploring questions of
urban difference, involving forms of mapping and psychogeographic interventions.
For the performance four drummers set up in the front courtyard of the
Palais de Justice during an organized city walk celebrating the city's
new urban plan. Each drummer is partnered with a walker who speaks on
a mobile phone to the drummer, describing things they witness during their
walk. From street names to colors, persons to animals, weather and atmospheres
to vehicles and events, each element corresponds to specific drums, acting
to drive a player's actions. The work functions to translate the individual
experience of an urban walker into sonic or musical actions.
