Bastien Pons à Francheville

Inspired by his earlier forays into electro-acoustic musical composition, Bastien Pons' work navigates between un-musical music and un-photographic photos. His approach to both of these creative disciplines could be described as a process of distilling what he hears and sees down to the basic elements and rearranging the pieces in a way that challenges the listener's/viewer's perception of what seems, at first, to be familiar territory. The resulting composition, be it acousmatic or pictorial, plunges us into a denatured world where the raw ingredients are juxtaposed, reconfigured and remixed to create a subliminal feeling of disquiet.
