Franck Vigroux: Architect of Sonic Catastrophe
Then practice drift. Listen for when you stop hearing and start waiting. That moment is the hinge. Vigroux uses expectation as material. He builds grooves, then lets them rot. Notice that decay.
Let silence last. Atotal contains moments of sudden subtraction. Resist the urge to fill those gaps with interpretation. Instead, listen for what stays behind: a reverb tail, a visual echo, a lingering bodily hum.
The Signal Before the Noise
You enter in near-dark. Air holds its breath. A low hum threads the room and finds the edges of your body. The first pulse lands. Light answers. Not as decoration, but as a presence that rearranges how you see. You register your heartbeat as metronome. The walls appear to inhale. Your eyes recalibrate.
What arrives is not spectacle. It is a proposition that your senses are about to stop agreeing with each other. Sound pushes. Light resists. Perception sits between them and begins to shear.
This is the signal before the noise.
Read slowly. Revisit as needed. Bring ears and awareness.
