Amandine Casadamont and Madeleine Leclair present a live sound creation using vinyl records drawn from their distinct yet resonant collections. The performance weaves musical traditions of the Tout-monde with experimental, concrete and ambient practices, exploring texture, repetition and montage. Intimate and attentive, the set focuses on listening as a shared sculpted experience, moving between ritual echoes and electronic abstraction through delicate turntable gestures and live manipulation.

The atmosphere is raw and electric, alternating between intimate grooves and explosive bursts, inviting both participants and listeners into shared momentum.

Directed by Louis Bonard, Les Voüéces follows two reclusive women, Rodogonde and Frénéjus, who live atop a high tower. Louis Bonard and Michèle Gurtner wrote and perform a piece in an enchanted pseudo‑medieval tongue where voice, embroidery and play weave a poetic fable. The performance probes silence, the passage of time, guilt and the unsettling presence of other voices — ghostly, culpable or absurd — with a blend of darkness and dark humour.

To mark its 21st anniversary, Geneva’s label HU presents a night of five short, immersive experimental electronic performances. Artists ENOIA, DA SAZ, GOODBYE IVAN, VINCENT HÄNNI and POL offer sculpted sound worlds that blur rhythm and texture, using spatialised electronics and subtle lighting to conjure uncanny atmospheres. The program favors intimate, exploratory set pieces that invite deep listening and physical presence. A shared meal by Tito (Peru) accompanies the evening, adding a communal dimension to the sonic journey.
