Yann Brecy (b. 1995), a French graduate in Fine arts and sound engineering, blends both artistic and technical practices in his creations. Through installations, kinetic sculptures, and sound creations, he explores sound, its uses, and its relation with the listener.

He works today with IRCAM as a computer music designer, and as a sound engineer for concerts, installations, musical and immersive performances using 3D audio techniques.

Sound archiving Le Cyclop, CNAP

Sculpture

National Center of Plastic Arts - Milly la Forêt - France

Creation and production of the sound archives for the National Center of Plastic Arts (CNAP) of the work "Le Cyclop".

The archive consists of a series of recordings forming a sound bank of Le Cyclop and eight binaural pieces showcasing the sonic characteristics of the different sections that make up Le Cyclop.

Everything is available at https://archivescyclop.fr/en

December 2024

    As Le Cyclop is a 22-meter-high metal sculpture composed of several other rooms and works, the archiving required the use of multiple microphone technologies in order to capture the work in the entirety of its behavior. In addition to traditional mono, stereo and quadraphonic recordings - seismic accelerometers, contact microphones, and Eigenmikes (64- and 32-channel ambisonic microphones) were used.

The sound bank was recorded and documented with the aim of mediating the work, as well as serving as compositional material for future artists and composers. The binaural pieces were created to preserve the vertical and simultaneous characteristics of the work’s behavior, as well as its location—secluded in the forest—which is essential to the artwork itself.
