PNEUMATOLOGY â composition Joachim Montessuis â April 2010 â Resonance fm
Pneuma is Greek for âbreathâ, which metaphorically describes a non-material being or influence. Pneumatology is the study of spiritual beings and phenomena, especially the interactions between humans and God(s).
From extreme strange poetry to shamanism, this one hour vortex piece focus on and brings together a bunch of abstract vocalists, non-semantics poets, musicians, psychics and screamers of the 20th and 21st, digging the space of vibratory experience above languages, where sound, poetry and music are merged : reactivation of the breath in the process of recreating reality and the inner mutant. Meeting point and wild entanglement of channeling processes, psycho-voodoo, possessions, trances, extasis, hypnosis, speaking in tongues, glossolalia, language of the birds, madness, delirium tremens, screams, chants, Artaudâs CharabiĂ©, etc⊠pure vocal energies in an opened furor : Clash of the titans, for real.

+ PNEUMATOLOGY / Joachim Montessuis
Joachim Montessuis développe depuis 1993 une pratique transdisciplinaire ouverte entre art sonore, poésie sonore, performance, nouveaux médias, installations interactives et activisme.
Il sâintĂ©resse aux liens entre art, science et spiritualitĂ©, et tente de crĂ©er des contextes dâintrospection, de brouillage et de dĂ©bordement (sensoriels, Ă©motionnels, culturels) quâil expĂ©rimente lors de concerts/installations, crescendos intenses et vĂ©ritables expĂ©riences immersives et interactives entre live cinema gĂ©nĂ©ratif et art action.
Son travail actuel sâoriente vers des processus de mise en abĂźme de la question de lâobservation et de la perception de la rĂ©alitĂ© Ă travers une approche non-duelle.
Il a travaillĂ© en rĂ©sidence dans les principaux centres dâart Ă©lectronique europĂ©ens (V2_Lab, CICV, KHM, Fresnoy) et montrĂ© son travail dans de nombreux contextes et festivals internationaux (DEAF, SĂłnar, ISEA, Beaubourg, USAâŠ)
Il Ă©dite Ă©pisodiquement depuis 1997 la compilation CD dâaudio art Erratum et organise ponctuellement des expositions et des Ă©vĂšnements poĂ©tiques. Il vit et travaille Ă Paris.
