about

Average score of the jury: 8

This track is part of a project which aims to develop the idea of a sonography of disaster. Disaster does not only concern destructive events, but it is also above all linked to a process of fragmentation. In this case, I tried to express a fragmentation of time and space by producing by the way of sounds assemblage the memory of a past combined with the atmosphere of a space which no longer exists, and which nevertheless remains in my live like a dream both concrete and fantasized: that of the shopping centers of my childhood. These places of passage are also intended to be a refuge during sweltering summers and during harsh winters. These places are simultaneously fantastical and uncanny because they offer those who frequent them a falsely reassuring, comforting and timeless moment. A fake moment that we always still want to relive and revisit, as if it helped to hide a certain sort of trauma.

Born in Quebec city, Richard Bégin is a professor of media and film studies at the University of Montreal and a researcher-creator in art and sound design. “Phase 5” is the result of his research on disaster as a medium of perception. Working as much from electronic instruments, analog sound devices and field recordings, he arranges and combines sounds in such a way as to generate affects related to memory, loss and fragmentation. Inspired by both hauntology, the post-apocalyptic imagination, noise, Frank Zappa and the smell of wet wood, his work is the sound accompaniment of Paul Valery's phrase: " the future is not what it used to be".
