By treating drawing as a form of writing, Vincent Laju explores sound in terms of its morphology and movement, inspired in particular by the electroacoustic works of Pierre Schaeffer and the UST (temporal semiotic units)he created, such as “fall,” “floating,” “in waves”.

Repetition and the randomness it creates are elements that sparked this approach.

 

The two main frameworks for interpreting the drawing:

- the sound semantics of the graphic, providing a “literal” reading of the drawing.

— a sensory reading of the graphic, through what the drawing evokes.

 

ZEILEN was initiated in 2021 during a graphic and sound research residency.

Primarily developed as a duo with Elo Masing (violin), as well as with guest musicians from Berlin: Samin Son (vocals), Julia Brüssel (violin), Megan Jowett (viola), Isabel Omara Anders (piano), Mia Dyberg (alto saxophone) and Simon Rose (baritone saxophone), in Berlin and on tour in France.
