Object Shape Description is the debut recording by Brussels based Italian artist Marco Lampis. Lampis works between the visual and auditory disciplines, creating installations both with and without sound, in which discrete sensory perceptions become entangled. How might we understand sound through sight or be able hear by looking? This collection of recordings is inspired by the rhetorical figure of Ekphrasis in which a visual artwork is described verbally. Here, Lampis uses experimental voice process akin to echo location to describe using disjointed phonemes the shape of various vases. Dense clouds of fragmented annunciations ricochet between subject and object.
The CD is released in an edition of 150 in an oversized 7” sleeve accompanied by a 12 page risographed booklet featuring drawings and 3D scans by Lampis, an essay by Elena Biserna, and a letterpressed backpanel.
Artiste italien basé à Bruxelles, Marco Lampis questionne les liens entre visuel et sonore : comment visualiser le son, comment écouter par la vue ?
Les six pièces de ce disque utilisent des fragments vocaux étirés et accumulés pour créer un effet d’écholocalisation et décrire la forme de différents contenants.
Comme une prolongation toute personnelle des thématiques de « Vespers » et de « Vessels » d’Alvin Lucier.
150 copies dans une couverture au format 45 tours accompagnées d’un livret de 12 pages qui décrit le projet.
