Au programme : 4 jours de concerts, de réflexions et d’expérimentations numériques. Tropisme s’empare de la grande salle de Victoire 2, mais aussi de son patio doté d’une scène extérieure avec guinguette, food trucks et sauna, de ses studios de répétitions entièrement réaménagés pour accueillir une grande exposition sur la réalité virtuelle. Mais aussi un des jardins de l’Écolothèque transformé en vaste terrain de jeux et de fête pour les enfants. Tête chercheuse à l’affût des signaux faibles qui constitueront les grandes mutations de demain, Tropisme se décline en deux volets : une programmation artistique pop et numérique, et une académie ouverte à tous, réflexive et participative. Un maître mot pour cette 4e édition : l’immersion. Dans le son, dans l’image, dans la fête et dans la pensée, Tropisme vous immerge dans son univers joyeux et bricolé pour vous faire lâcher-prise en toute liberté, jour et nuit ! IMMERSION DANS L’IMAGE En 1958, l’architecte montpelliérain Philippe Jaulmes brevetait Panrama, un des tous premiers systèmes de projection cinématographique immersive. Près de 60 ans plus tard, l’essor des casques de réalité virtuelle font entrer l’immersion dans une nouvelle dimension. Tropisme vous propose d’expérimenter les dispositifs et contenus immersifs les plus novateurs à travers une grande exposition VR qui vous fera perdre tous vos repères.

  • Mogwai – As the Love Continues
    Mogwai – As The Love Continues (1:01:24, Digital, CD, Vinyl, Rock Action Records/[PIAS]/Rough Trade, 2021) Neun vollwertige Studioalben und diverse Live-Aufnahmen, Soundtracks und EPs haben uns Mogwai bisher in ihren 26 Jahren Bandgeschichte beschert und dabei den Sound des Post Rock- Genres so sehr geprägt wie kaum eine andere Band. „As The Love Continues“ ist nun das zehnte reguläre Album der Schotten und erscheint exakt ein Vierteljahrhundert nach deren Debütsingle ‚Turner’/’Lower‘ und nur wenige Monate nach dem Soundtrack für die Serie „ZeroZeroZero“. Und schon nach wenigen Takten ist „As The Love Continues“ eindeutig als Mogwai-Album identifizierbar. Sprich, auf dem neuen Album der Formation aus Glasgow ist (fast) alles beim Alten geblieben. Langweilig wird es dadurch allerdings nicht, denn auf „As The Love Continues“ spielen Stuart Braithwaite (Gitarre), Dominic Aitchison (E-Bass, Gitarre), Martin Bulloch (Schlagzeug) und Barry Burns (Keyboard, Flöte, Gitarre, Bass) noch immer Post Rock auf aller höchstem Niveau. „As The Love Continues“ beginnt in Form von ‚To The Bin My Friend, Tonight We Vacate Earth‘ mit sehr dezenten Tönen, sanftem Schlagzeugspiel und sparsamen Melodien. Ganz in Bandtradition legen die Schotten im Laufe dieses Stücks Soundschicht um Soundschicht übereinander, bevor der Einsatz verzerrter Gitarren und die so Mogwai-typische Laut-Leise- Dynamik das Stück in einer voluminösen, aber dennoch organischen Wall of Sound zu Ende gehen lassen. Das anschließende ‚Here We, Here We, Here We Go Forever‘ wird durch piepende Synthesizer-Sounds eingeleitet, welche stilistisch an die schottischen Landsleute vonBoards of Canada denken lassen. Die Melodieführung des Stückes ist so eingängig wie zuletzt vielleicht auf dem 2001er Album „Rock Action“, klingt jedoch so, als würden die Instrumente von einem Roboter gespielt werden.
