Muriel Louveau "It is a
most intriguing mixture of old chants, flamenco, middle eastern, primeval paganism
and aggressive New Age. There are even hints of Yma Sumac.. Fascinating.. with
a sense of mysterious drama." "M. Louveau, a singer whose voice has been described as haunting
and highly individualistic." "Never Adhering or locked to traditional forms, Louveau's compositional
strength in achieving clear shapes leades us into a realm of foreign
landscapes; the Classical influence is no longer pure Classicism, the
Post Modern not pure Euro-centric Post Modernism...; Furthermore, we
cannot generalize Louveau's works into any sect, but instead we are
encouraged to accept her as a new explorer." E D D AMuriel Louveau singer/ performer/ composer HollyWarburton /artist film maker Edda is a collaborative project with english artist Holly Warburton and french singer performer Muriel Louveau. The show is made up of 5 Dioramas of video and sound with multiple screen video projection and live performance. Each Diorama is inspired by The primeval Edda Saga that tells the story of creation and relates also to the greek myth of Persephone. Muriel Louveau will project her voice within an recorded environment (and through the use 5.1 surround technology ),treated like a mould made of nature sounds, digital effects combined with acoustic instruments in a way to create for the listener a powerful sense of" immersion." The premiere will take place in Paris at the cube ( center for digital arts) on nov 18TH, 2006. Presentation EDDA is inspired by The Poetic Edda Sagas of the 10th century, The Icelandic myth of Creation and within that the four elements. A Stage Performance and video and sound Installation that combines a series of Dioramas which contemplate the four elements within the human body , Fire Earth, Air and Water. . The elements transmute through the cycles of life and within universal and personal consciousness. Memories of creation lie within our psyche and within our bones which perhaps only the language of metaphor can touch upon. Intention The guide line to enter this world stays in the vocals and the symbolic diversity of language ,the aim is to capture the moment at which the actual human voice becomes a system of symbols and how it can relate to the impact of technology and digital art ,how sound and video can engage a dialogue to question and explore the language of myth. Concerts M. Louveau has flown over the Atlantic to appear in New Mexico (Santa Fe) and in New York City, especially at Irving Plaza. She has also been part of the international cast of "The World Mysteries", a performance created at Brooklyn Academy of Music / Next Wave Festival 1998. In April 2002, she appeared in SKIFF 6, the Sergey Kuryokhin International Festival, that happened in St Petersburg with Avant Garde musicians from all around the world. |
