+ | |||
+ | Throughout the summer of 2014, Tarek Atoui and four sound technicians recorded the resonances and vibrations of the Foundation. At the time of the Foundation’s inauguration in October 2014, this collection of sounds formed the basis of four live shows played by the artist and his guests. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In October 2015, Tarek Atoui moved into a new phase of From Architecture. To this end, the artist incorporated a new, electronic instrument, which sought to conserve the sounds recorded. This “table-instrument” houses high-tech software which enabled the artist to create different compositions and distribute them real-time throughout the actual architecture of the building, thanks to the 16 speakers placed around the venue’s spaces, including the outside. | ||

+ | ===The Reverse Collection (2014-2016)=== | ||
+ | ==Stage 1== | ||
+ | Tarek Atoui investigated and pulled folk musical instruments from the collection of the Dahlem museum. He was intrigued by the lack of information on how to play them or their original cultural use. After pulling these instruments from the collection he invited a set of musicians to improvise on them and made recordings of resulting sounds. | ||
+ | ==Stage 2== | ||
+ | Atoui asked various instrument makers to listen to the recordings and to make musical instruments to recreate the sounds. A number of experimental musicians and artists built instruments including-\\ | ||
+ | [[Léo Maurel]] \\ | ||
+ | [[Thierry Madiot]]\\ | ||
+ | [[Sonambule|Vincent Martial]] and [[Sonambule|Max Hoton]] who make up the group [[Sonambule]]\\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | These instruments were then exhibited in Mexico City at kurimanzutto gallery in 2014. | ||
+ | ==Stage 3== | ||
+ | The instruments were then refined and displayed as an installation at Tate Modern.\\ | ||
+ | A large group of musicians, mostly Lebanese were invited to play on these instruments in performances that increased in scale from 3-5 players eventually to a full orchestra of people. \\ | ||
+ | There is a book published from the TATE modern show ((https:// | ||
