Created in residence at OBORO, Orchestre sauvage de sons inédits et manipulés avec soin is a performance about human and machine notably human and transformed machine. As well, the installation will be an autonomous and orchestrated automaton spectacle. The visual and auditory experience includes an infinite loop of intertwining, intricate sounds to create a resounding torment, like the nursery rhymes of a dreaming child. 

The artist presents an automaton orchestra of transformed keyboards, toys, and modified child-like things supported by organic sounds amplified distorted by the artist. Each element is molded as if they were musicians in an orchestra, giving meaning to already existing sounds altered by human; a mix of the child and the adult, who only thinks about destroying a sound in order to turn it into a catastrophe. Into this sonorous whirlwind, the artist uses a cassette recording of his grandparents’ in conversation and song, in the Tai Dam dialect. 

In his search for sounds, Chittakone has developed his auditory universe from organic (field recordings, manipulation of cassettes, and amplification) and analog sounds through vintage/modulary synthesizers, and handmade effect pedals as he pays tribute to his Laotian and Asian origins.
