Each Morning of the World #06
Southeast Asia PhoNographic Mornings #20/20
Various locations in Myanmar
« Morning rituals »
Stéphane Marin & Alex Hehir
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mornings are full of rituals :
everywhere they are same
but elsewhere they are different…

Some rituals are quiet
some others are noisy.

Your rituals are strange
my rituals are comforting.

Our rituals are vapid
their rituals are sooooo exoooootic…

Tell me about your morning rituals,
I will tell you who you are…

In 2013, I went in Myanmar for a 28 days trip.
When I came back to France I composed
« L’Oreille Nomade #1 - Myanmar »
a sound trip in 28 binaural sound postcard.

In 2016 I proposed a raw binaural phoNography
(Two gongs at Kuthodaw Paya, Mandalay, Myanmar)

to be re_imagined by a composer for the project
‘Sacred Spaces’ launched by Cities and Memories.

The new version of this recording proposed by Alex Hehir
as « Falling Gongs » inspired me so much

And I am now enthusiast to re_COMPOSE it here
as a new ‘morning’ like version :
« Morning rituals ».

Stéphane Marin

Sound artist, phoNographist, listening facilitator

On the border between listening to the soundscape and "in situ" compositions, in the porosity proposed by a work that rubs the real, zealot of sonic arts in public spaces, soundscape artist, composer of multi-phonic sound pieces for in situ live performances, Stéphane Marin has been involved since 2003 in sound adventures in situ that go out to meet atypical spaces.

Following many collaborations shared in France, and represented internationally (Singapore, Mexico, Suwon, Beirut, Poznan, Grätz, Valladolid, Manchester, Brussels, Saarbrüken, Kilfinane…), in 2008 Stéphane created Espaces Sonores, a company dedicated to contextual sound creation and arts of listening.

His desire for spaces and his practice of sound push him to imagine devices and experiences that take the form of course or sound naps, soundwalks with naked or « augmented » ears, and performative architectural sound installations.
