BenoitVibeS
Songs of My Face
BenoitVibeS works with audio and video, exploring vocal sounds and the facial expressions created while pronouncing, articulating, or distorting oral noises. He focuses on the musicality of words without searching for their meaning, breaking it into syllables and delving into the variety of rhythm and tone of consonants and vowels. He has always been attracted to the musicality of a foreign language and animation of facial expressions. Through the medium of clowning, he embraces the bizarre, absurd, and ridiculous. Incorporating elements of play and failure in the process. Pulling faces and making weird noises with his mouth, BenoitVibeS uses a recording device to sample, loop and produce repeated patterns from those sounds. Conducting an amalgamation of sounds into a musical structure in a live setting. (Performing an hour every day for the duration of the graduation show. Times tbc.)
