La chambre d’écho is a sound performance presented
to an audience scattered more or less in the middle of
a setup consisting of four sound sources

A first speaker is placed at ear level and positioned more
or less in the center of the audience; it plays voices.
A second and third speaker are placed on the floor,
on either side of the audience, to play music and ambient sounds in stereo. Finally, a fourth speaker is hidden in an adjoining space to play distant sounds and noises. Voices hang in the void; narratives are begun, explored, and left enigmatic; sounds are electric, diffuse, or fragmented; miniature landscapes unfold; and silences are either vague
or sharp. Reality is fragmented, diminished, and unfolded
in the dim light to create a possible fiction—intimate and mental.
