About Me

if you want to take part at - experimental scene - group "to create contacts / booking / energy / connexions in the field of experimental music, free improvisation, noise, avant-garde, drone" please click and join : experimental scene !!! please, don't join if you are not envolved in these kind of projects !!! ***"yannick franck (né en 1981) est artiste sonore et plasticien, ses recherches sont basées sur la captation et l'utilisation d'éléments du réel, qui "perçus dans leurs formes les plus substantielles, s'altèrent d'eux-mêmes, au fil des instants qui se succèdent...". traités et organisés de façon intuitive, ces éléments sont confrontés à la réalité immédiate, recontextualisés. fragments d'un réel transfiguré, qui dévoillent une attention particulière, un dialogue intimement expressif entre monde physique et ses métamorphoses." "yannick franck (b. 1981) is a multi field artist from belgium, involved in electroacoustic composition / improvisation and visuals. his creations are often qualified as abstract and meditative. by various experimental practices and processes, yannick franck underlines his relation to the world, observes and transforms the components of reality. shade and light, vibration and resonance are delivered as components of his artworks. the datas of the physical world's permanent alterations, becoming naturally abstract, are asserted as (a)esthetic elements."
