MICHEL TREGANScreenPresto divides into two movements, A tempo, when the cinema and music are simultaneouslyin search of an adequate pace, and Da capo, a backward movement in which there-reading of the past permits the apprehension of the present. A tempo, to movement,means in music a return to the initial speed following an acceleration or deceleration.Da capo, to the beginning, indicates a return to the start, to a repeated and renewedinterpretation.A tempoThe gradual filling of the screen by a sound source thought to be off-screen carries therisk of rendering visible into a definitively immaterial wave. The recording studio insertsitself into the images of Soigne ta droite by Jean-Luc Godard with Rita Mitsouko andbecomes the only filming location in Quatre jours à Ococee by Pascale Ferran, attentiveto the dialogues by Sam Rivers and Tony Hymas. Amplified music stood out in 1967 whenPink Floyd and The Rolling Stones were recorded live by Peter Whitehead. More acoustic,the sound flux filled Opera Jawa, Nomadak TX or the paradoxical double elegy by AlexandreSokurov. Digital introduced itself into the home-studio of Homemade, facilitating therelations between musicians with Damo Suzuki and allowing Manon de Boer to record asolo reputedly by Bela Bartok, Presto – Perfect Sound.Da capoThe sounds of the world come up against historical and political uses. The beginning ofa musical metamorphosis recomposed themselves in the filmed fragments of IgorStravinsky, composer, manipulated by Janos Darvas, while at the end of the Seventies,the energy instilled by the Sex Pistols decomposed in D.O.A by Lech Kowalski. Elsewhere,a man finds a fragment of film without sound in Sao Paolo of a concert filmed in Pixinguinawhile another individual, Yann Paranthoën, assembles sounds without images. The rereadingof the history of a country, Nigeria, passes through musicians, as in Sufferingand smiling. The story is concentrated into the duration of an opera, in a role where theactors are varied, as in Scarpia by Jean-François Jung and Casa Verdi – Le baiser deTosca by Daniel Schmid.The director tries to show what is revealed to vision, the execution of the artist, the loverof Florian Tosca ; Eurydice and Orpheus or, for Sturges, Daphne and Alfred. The piece offilm unfolds the sound drama and the persistent enigma is deployed and exhibited.Gilles Grand152
