drone2805 Difficult to describe but fascinating. Because Kassel Jaeger succeeds in depicting a world that I perceive as hot and hard, sometimes animated sometimes desert. Personally, I come to imagine millions of strange insects in flight and large reptiles that trail their scales in an arid desert. But in this work one thing is certain, the sounds do not necessarily evoke their sources, and their arbitrary use brings us elsewhere according to our own imagination. This is great art!

about

Qu’est-ce qu’un rituel ? Un ensemble d’actions systématisées forgeant une communauté symbolique. Cette communauté, ce soir du 15 juillet, a pu se constituer grâce au bien nommé Jan Minuit, qui m’a aidé à réaliser ce rituel dans un endroit étrange, isolé de tout.
Dans cet endroit, qui est une sorte de petit monde vertical, j’ai vu les arbres grandir puis être déracinés par les tempêtes. J’y ai connu des personnes, disparues depuis, et dont les traces se sont elles-mêmes lentement évaporées.

Le rituel consista en une exploration systématique des potentialités sonores de ce lieu, potentiels sonores aériens, hydrophoniques, de contact, magnétiques, etc…Cherchant ainsi à ré-invoquer les évanouis. Le rituel s’est déployé du coucher de soleil à la nuit noire, passant d’une capture des énergies diurnes à celle des énergies nocturnes, obscures.
Rituel sur une terre désolée se relevant à peine, dix ans après, sous un Soleil mort. Tout bruisse encore après la mort du Soleil. Mais pour combien de temps ?
(Kj, avril 2013)

What’s a ritual ? A set of systematized actions creating a symbolic community. This community, on this evening of July 15, could form thanks to the aptly named Jan Minuit who helped me to realize this ritual in a strange, completely isolated, place. In this location, which is a kind of small vertical world, I’ve seen the trees grow, and then be uprooted due to the storms. There I’ve learned to know people, gone since, and whose traces have slowly varnished.

This ritual consisted of a systematic exploration of sound potentialities from the location itself, aerial, hydrophonic, contact, magnetic sound potentials, etc…Trying this way to re-invoke the faded. The ritual unfolded at sundown during black night, going from a capture of diurnal to nocturnal, obscure energies.
Ritual on a barely recovering desolate land, ten years after, under a dead Sun. Everything still rustles after the death of the Sun. But for how long ?
(hopefully respectfully translated by Daniel Crokaert )
