Born in Clermont-Ferrand on June 29th, 1976, Pierre Redon is a French avant-garde music composer and transdisciplinary artist. He is also an author, musician, producer, photographer, filmmaker, known for Les Marches Sonores and founder of the multimedia studio Les Soeurs Grées.
Biography
For an artist of his generation, Pierre Redon's work today is most singular, placing environmental and anthropological concerns at the core of the use of a wide variety of media. He navigates between sound creation, filmmaking, anthropological and sociological research, documentary practice, photography, textile art, cartography and publishing.
From 1995 to 1999, he studied musical composition and guitar, and developed multiple collaborations with various musicians from the experimental and electronic music scene. During this period, his musical practice focused essentially on improvised music and noise music.
In 1999, having already nearly reached the limits of this musical practice, Pierre Redon founded l'Oreille Électronique, an artist collective where his research his expressed through transdisciplinary works involving the other members of the collective and guests (Luc Ex, Keith Rowe, etc.). Together, they began working on a corpus of sound poetry, action poetry around the works of Raoul Hausmann, commissioned by the Rochechouart museum of contemporary art, as well as around the work of William Burroughs. From 2000 to 2004, Pierre Redon was both artistic contributor and producer and manager of the collective's label.
From 2003 onwards, through the practice of field recording, sound in landscape becomes a central axis of his art, and he brings into play the relationship to the landscape, which he defines as a border; a state of awareness of the sensory relationship to the environment.[1] His work opens up to plastic art installations, drawing art, documentary film, image, with walking progressively integrated as a corporal and sensory approach to places.
In 2006, he wrote a three-part project, focusing on mountain spaces where territories are unveiled through walking. First, Miage, a film produced by Pyramide Production, co-directed with Edmond Carrère, dealing with the social changes and identity crisis linked to the development of the tourism industry in an alpine valley. Then, the first of the Marche Sonore at the Markstein, supported by the Natural regional park of the Ballons des Vosges and Weleda, dealing with the disappearance of the arnica plant in this French mid-altitude mountain zone. Finally, the last part of this project is an unfinished creation addressing the imaginary realm and ecology in Transcaucasia around the myth of Prometheus.
Pierre Redon is notably the creator of the Marches Sonores,[2] a composite project that weaves the words of the inhabitants together with sound and cartography. Equipped with a sound player, walkers experience a new and augmented perception of places through the accompanying presence of the artwork. This art form was designed and implemented for the first time at the Markstein in the Vosges, France, with partners concerned about environmental issues and eager to experiment new aesthetics building processes. The maps accompanying the Marches Sonores[3] are unique in their ability to challenge our sense of direction, but visually, they also give a sensory and critical representation of the territory.
In 2016, Pierre Redon inaugurates a monumental creation spanning five years of work. The Sounds from Beyond (Les Sons des Confins)[4][5] comprises of a series of 8 Marches Sonores over more than 600 kilometers, from the source of the Vienne river, following this river's bed all the way to the estuary of the Loire River. This creation, which brings together several partners, is part of a public art commission from the French Ministry of Culture and Communication[6]. This commission stands out as an exemplary project with the C.N.A.P. (French national center for plastic arts) by offering a new perspective on art in public spaces through an immaterial art form, sound art.[7][8] In this sense, the project's partners wished to help initiate the design of artwork with a goal to experiment new aesthetics processes around environmental questions. The ensuing publication comes with a text by art critic and essayist Christophe Domino.[9][10]
While he has already carried out fifteen Marches Sonores in France, Pierre Redon's research during that period is geared towards anthropology and ecology, which he uses as a creative process based on interaction. Fascinated by the manner in which humans invest their milieu, his fieldwork is grounded on the dissociation of effective human ecology - the tangible relationship with the milieu - and cultural ecology - the ability to conceptualize life in the milieu. Such a perception of ecology drifts apart from the environmental concerns of the times and opens up to a new perception which he defines as Sensory Anthropology. From 2007 to 2016, he gives several talks on the subject in academic circles such as the LADYSS (Laboratory of social dynamics and spatial reconstruction), the CDMC (Document center for contemporary music), the Beaux-Arts of Paris[11], the ENSACF and the ENSASE (National school for higher education in architecture - Clermont Ferrand and Saint-Étienne) the ENSNP (National school for higher education in nature and landscape, the ESBAM (National school for higher education in fine arts in Le Mans) (with the department of sound design), or the ENSA (National school for higher artistic education in Limoges).
In 2004, he founds the Multimedia studio Les Soeurs Grées which acts as a research and creation laboratory for the development and promotion of transdisciplinary and innovative projects.
From 2007 to 2011 he is also in charge of the artist residency "La Pommerie" on the Millevaches plateau, for which he sets up an artistic program around sound art with an annual event on art and ecology, Les Rencontres Art & Écologie, where artists, academics and the public are invited to meet and exchange.
His work on hypnosis and healing, which he initiated in 2015 with the Marche Sonore, Lichen, body, gender and sexuality, commissioned by the city of Reims with the intersex activist Hida Viloria, opens up new routes in his approach to documentary work, ecology and healing.
He develops a form of organic and instinctive music combining multiple approaches to composition, with musicians from every musical horizon; graphic score, improvisation, oral communication, instrumental techniques or electroacoustics.
This approach is particularly present in the musical part of Tülü.[12] In this sound, textile and participative opus, Pierre Redon shows that to him, sound is no longer merely music, but rather that it shapes a transcendental body experience. Here, sound is a prelude to the participative ritual that invites the public to donate a strand of their hair and a drawing on the theme of birth, in order to "weave the memory of humanity in a rug of hair". This international art endeavor has already been exhibited in China at the MCAM (Ming Contemporary Art Museum) in Shanghai and in South America, at the Teatro Jorge Eliécer Gaitán, the Museo de Trajes in Bogota and the Cementerio Museo San Pedro in Medellín.
From 2001 to 2020, Pierre Redon works on developing a creation called "9" Sound and Healing[13] where the relationship of body and sound is at the forefront, as well as his research on transgenerational memories. In particular, he questions the links between magic and science, by organizing a conference with psychiatrists from the Cadillac Hospital Center (France), entitled "Quand les magiciens rencontrent les scientifiques" (When magicians meet scientists).[14]
Pierre Redon's singular work shows that above all, he is a guide, a magician as defined by Claude Lévi-Strauss in The Savage Mind. He starts by observing and listening to the place he invests. Then, in the manner of a shaman, he offers initiation ceremonies, hypnosis sessions and ritual experiences to guide participants towards a form of self-surpassing and to help them let go through the experience of magic.
