CONCRÈTE: Site-Specific Installation and performance work.

An interview with John Rea.

Concrète is a site-specific sound and musical work, inspired by the theme of ‘Revolution’ as part of Ffotogallery’s Diffusion Festival, in 2017.

I created a surround, multi-room sound work, based on the introduction of noise into the world of music, inspired by the early work of the Futurists, and Constructivists, also the utopian ideals of the early makers of synthesizers in the eastern Block.

The work was introduced as a one-off performance celebrating noise and the origins of sounscape, utilising modular synthesizers, mainpulated spoken word, archival, and specially recorded elements, presented immersively, and as a site-specific installation work thereafter.
