On 18th July 1822, the lifeless body of poet Percy Shelley was found on the shores of Viareggio, Italy, eroded by salt and water. He was aged 29.
Banned from the United Kingdom due to his written works and lifestyle, both as scandalous, Shelley catches fire and burning pages to the point of dizziness.

Release of the new album from rock band Aïtone, featuring extensive ondes Martenot performances by Augustin Viard

Aïtone, eponymous album

"Somewhere between Radiohead and Archive, lyrical guitars and punchy beats, Aîtone uncovers a progressive blend of pop tinted with rock, electronica and cinema. Fred Chichin discovered them early on, in 2006, then named “Lemon Incest”. This encounter will deeply impact Antoine, the band’s lead singer."

"In their ever-growing musical exploration, Aïtone also collaborates with different artists. Their first album, which will be released in February, gives pride of place to Augustin Viard's Ondes Martenot, as well as poetry from French rapper Rouda."

SOUNDSTREAM

 

Music for 2 ondes Martenot

by Augustin Viard and Grégory Louis
 

SOUND STREAM by Labofactory

The space is plunged into darkness. A large black monolith occupies its center. Atop of it, a prism of water and light produces sound and light vibrations radiate across onto the opposite wall. As the sound takes possession of the room, the waves become animated, portraying organic, liquid and moving forms, that unfold along with the music.
