FACT’s Patch Notes is a performance series that celebrates the art of making electronic music with hardware. As part of the practice behind Hélène Vogelsinger's modular synthesizer compositions, she explores abandoned places, connecting with their energies to create immersive moments.
For her Patch Notes performance, she serendipitously stumbled across an abandoned castle in the French countryside. “The installation and the recording session are always a process within the process, which takes a few hours. Technically it requires a good organisation: three modular cases and hundred of cables, a generator, a camera, lights and again so many cables,” she says.
“It is something really intense, especially in those types of abandoned places, where you have to avoid a lot of obstacles. I love the fact that they have layers of stories and histories, with different occupants, often crossing times, and always full of beautiful and melancholic poetry."
