Exploring Zimoun's Sound Sculptures: Compilation Video 4.3

A new post after +6 years, this time (again!) about Swiss kinetic/sound sculptor Zimoun. He recently published Complilation Video version 4.3 which provides an overview of his work so far: I still like his work after first seeing it at the Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven, back in 2014. As the Dutch Design Week 2024 starts tomorrow as a far more commercialized/sponsored/co[orate event than back in…

[artsvoice]

Swiss sound artist Zimoun uses a large number of common materials in his sound art installations, and by changing the form of the materials and the way they are used, he creates subtle audio-visual art installations. I was reminded of the sound of waves crashing against a rock wall when I watched the project's foam balls being blown by a blower at high speed.

Two sound Artist that i decided to research and look into more of there work were Zimoun and Ryoj Ikeda.

Zimoun is a self taught artist from Switzerland who is best known for his sound sculptures and sound architectures. He uses different combine materials such as plastic bags, microphones , old furniture and wires. And I love how he is able to find use for such items to create art and sound.

Here’s an example of one of his work it’s a instalment of a rolling wave that’s made out of package peanuts but it’s such an eye catching piece as in darkness it looks like that room is engulfed by a beautiful white wave.

Ryoj Ikeda who’s a Japanese visual and sound artist. I know some of ikedas work and really like how he uses sound in variety of raw states such as sine tones and noises to make eye catching and really interesting pieces.

This piece is called test pattern and is made up of using and converting different types of data such as text, sounds, photos and movies and turns them into barcode patterns and binary patterns which I really find interesting and is one of my many favourite pieces of Ikeda.

These two artist create different work form one another but one thing I really like about them both is how captivating and eye catching there work can be.

«What you do is a fundamental question. But it’s how you do something that ultimately determines the effect.» — Julian Sartorius

With ‘RLLRLRLLRRLRLRLRLLRLRLR’, Swiss drummer and sound artist Julian Sartorius presents his third album in three years. Together with ‘Ensemble This | Ensemble That’ Sartorius has created a mesmerizing 39-minute percussion album that conclusively expands his artistic output. For the first time, an ensemble plays an idea conceived by Sartorius, while he assumes the role of an interactive conductor, manipulating the sounds made.

Sartorius is known for his fluid and versatile solo performances in which he continually modulates the sound of his instruments, adding objects and progressively unfolding his sound world. The idea of expanding this practice was already gestating when the ‘Ensemble This | Ensemble That’ invited him for a collaboration. Together with the drummers and percussionists Brian Archinal, Victor Barceló, Miguel Angel Garcia Martin and Bastian Pfefferli the concept was further explored, elaborated upon in detail, and finally realized.

‘RLLRLRLLRRLRLRLRLLRLRLR’ is both title and score for the ensemble’s four percussionists. The pattern, consisting of 23 individual beats, is played continuously by the ensemble while Sartorius gradually makes alterations to the instruments played. The result is a piece that has a sustained rhythmic flow yet is perpetually changing. Sartorius’ interventions and the precise musicality of the ensemble allows the listener to discover an expansive array of moods and intensities.

The album is structurally recursive but develops an almost mystical magnetism through an odyssey of diverse musical landscapes. Sartorius explains: «It amazes me deeply how much the sentiment can change based on a musical mood - this sense of curiosity is made audible with this album.» The album recording itself is designed as an endless loop: at the end of the recording, the ensemble’s sound has returned to its starting point, thereby completing an endless, self-contained cycle, with no beginning or end. In this way, Sartorius also echoes his 2021 album ‘Locked Grooves’.

Julian Sartorius’ precise and multi-layered rhythmical patterns are keen excursions into the hidden tones of found objects and prepared instruments, bridging the gap between organic timbres and the vocabulary of (experimental) electronic music. He has released numerous solo albums, creates audiovisual art works, collaborates with musicians, writers, and artists, and performs live in intimate venues and on festival stages.

Ensemble This | Ensemble That (ET|ET) have established themselves not only as interpreters of contemporary music, but also as collaborators to a wide range of artists including projects like Zimoun, Myriam Bleu, Strotter Inst., Lê Quan Ninh, Marko Ciciliani, Jürg Frey, and Michael Maierhof, amongst others.

ModularGuitarFields I-VI - Zimoun (2023)

"... Zimoun is a multi-disciplilnary Swiss artist who is best recognized for his immersive and site-specific installations with cardboard, DC motors and other industrial objects to create large-scale installations of orchestrated noise and movement. His mechanized environments have been shown in prestigiuos museums and galleries worldwide. On his latest musical release, ModularGuitarFields I-VI is entirely based on the sounds of a Tenor Baritone Guitar, combined with select elements of a Modular Synth and a vintage 1960s Magnatone Amp. ModularGuitarFields I-VI encompasses expansive and atmospheric realms, showcasing Zimoun’s passion for raw, warm sounds, as well as minimalist concepts and approaches. ..."

Old and new Swiss art noises: Tinguely and Zimoun

I have been an admirer of the work of Swiss artist Jean Tinguely almost all of my life. It started while at university, when I bought this poster of a Tinguely exhibition at the Tate Gallery in London. Since then I have been collection exhibition posters and graphic works of Tinguely and other artists and started to develop an interest in technology and media art. Today, I stumbled upon another…

Sound art installations by Zimoun

In description, "The frenzied movements contrast the calming, whirring sounds the artworks emit, which mimic raindrops or a repetitive drum."

The pause in between making the difference and create new things. It is the most important and interesting place.

project proposal

Sound Material Dialogue

Sound Material Dialogue is a sound art project designed to explore the sonic effects produced when different materials collide. This project merges the realms of sound art and experimental sound production, encouraging creative sound interactions to provoke the audience's contemplation of materials, resonance, and sound.

I am planning to create a sound installation that employs electricity and motors to drive various materials to collide with each other, generating a diverse range of sounds. The experimentation and composition will take place in a soundproof recording studio. This choice is made due to the requirement of a quiet environment, enabling the investigation of distinctions within similar sounds and facilitating sound recording.

Research Progress

So far, I have discovered that collisions between different materials result in distinct sound effects. For instance, wood against wood produces a clacking sound, while metal against metal creates a sharp, crisp noise, and so on. I intend to explore more materials to record a variety of different sounds.

Artistic References

Céleste Boursier-Mougenot's work, such as 'clinamen,' emphasizes the connection between sound and material. The sound of flowing water and the gentle friction of porcelain bowls, amplified through microphones, interweave in the exhibition space. This creates an ecosystem where fluidity and stillness coexist, artificial and natural elements converge, accompanied by the pleasant sound of porcelain bowls colliding, all against the backdrop of a flickering azure planet.

Zimoun's works often employ common materials like cardboard, wooden blocks, fan blades, and strings to produce unexpected sound effects in his sound installations. This inspires me to contemplate how to creatively repurpose materials and integrate them as a part of the sonic experience. Furthermore, his installations frequently use straightforward mechanical systems, such as motors and rollers, to generate intricate sound effects. This demonstrates that even within the realm of sound art, one can employ simple and controllable mechanical systems to create complex soundscapes.
