Adèle Pécout, Hugo Scurto, 2016—2020
transmedia music
Mer compositions collide metaphorical lyrics anchored in French chanson with concatenated textures brought up by computer music. The hybridisation materializes on stage through re-enactment of the singing voice with performative gestures using CataRT.
Mer eponymous album (2018) was accompanied by a series of photographic portraits and a web-based interactive Libretto (2020), featuring sounds, lyrics, and images coming from its eight music titles. Moving pictures were created using a deep neural network, which we trained over body photographs of Adèle and myself, to point at our hybridising of genres and landscapes.
