About Me

Today, Serge Adam is mostly working on interactive shows, which integrate improvisation, writting and technology (laptop, video). He’s developping projects of meetings, in which the interaction is more constructed while still being instinctive.
À la veille de ne partir jamais / Na véspera de nao partir nunca
Across the electrical impulses which go through the body, the most insignificant vibrations which give birth to movement, to leave in search of a connection, to explore the possibilities of touching or of being touched, of causing a meeting which can produce affinity, conflicts or repulsion. Leave sounds and pictures work real-time, be bound in the impulses of the body or dissociate itself from it, as so many worlds where correlation is built, becomes more refined and evolves, forming a kaleidoscope in perpetual mutation.

My Funny Valentine
A creation in the universe of the trip-hop, with loans in techno and break beat, for an electronic project fed with coppered heat. An invitation to dance for this St Valentine's day, where the body moves in spite of him, earned by subjects of beat and grooves.
An organic proposal of the musicians modes of game of which - trumpet and turntables- make flow a very living expression of their numerical environment. 

Serge Adam and Romuald Tual - alias 7o3- have already worked together on two projects "arounds 3 gardens", in 2003 (théâtre de l'échangeur, Bagnolet) and " au fil de l'eau", in 2008 ( festival "les rendez-vous de l'Erdre", Nantes).

Synomilia
A live performance of words and syllables sampling to feed the musical material under construction, leading to an improvised dialogue between the trumpet and the voice.

S'olo
A sound material which deals with organic sounds coming from a trumpet. leading to the development of an improvised instrumental play. We travel slowly from electro-acoustic music to an electronic musical world, with new materials and new spaces emerging from « beats »

BeatPushers
Both equipped with a device of interaction (their computers are dedicated to the handling of the sounds and the rates/rhythms in real time) in addition to their instruments of predilection (piano acoustic and keyboards, trumpet), BeatPushers invent on sharp music of one extreme modernity, which must as much with the jazz of today as with the cultures of happy electronics. A new approach of the musical composition and improvisation at the era of the digital experimentation.

BrainDance
Small laboratory of grooves and new sound materials, based on interactive interfaces and on the musical gesture as a source of sound creation. These impro-visitors propose us to share an abstract story and to create our own musical scenario.

Icons
The meeting of two singular artists, leading the same quest : the centre gravity of their own research which draws the choreographic movement and the instrumental gesture in the same vortex. Ziya Azazi is rooted in the dilated time of soufis transe rituals, while Serge Adam is in the suspended time of improvisation.

UW
A poetical journey within sounds, body and images. Their meeting in a whisper, in a vibration, on a line dancing between sky and earth. Breath of the trumpet, heady melody of the electronical sound textures melting with composing-decomposing body inspirations under the camera watchful eye, finaly forming a landscape shaped in dreamlike unreality.

Serge Adam & Martin Hausmann
Serge Adam and the german illustrator Martin Haussmann meet for a unusual musical and graphic performance, which invites adults and children to imagine poetic sentences.

Around 3 Gardens
A collective creation, which joins interactive images with improviser musicians, who use the machines as an electronic extension of an improvisatory thought in real time. Here there are no prepared « beat sequences » to settle on but rather original « samples » (prepared in advance) that they release during a concert to feed the musical matter under construction and the electronics becomes source of inspiration for the soloists.
