Fragments of archival mag- netic tapes combine with the wind from instruments for a musical intervention in the exhibition Le Microphone, dedicated to Revox, Nagra, Lenco and other pioneering tape recorders. Denis Rollet creates a slow feedback loop between the instruments and the tapes. Olga Kokcharova puts into perspective con- tents and containers, physical sensations and intangible phenomena, and invites us to pause and listen to our own breath. The event will take place in API’s artistic space, rue du Vuache 25 (Geneva).
