Espèces d’espaces by Bruno Duplant&Ryoko Akama Category : CD sold out release: 2014 label: Suppendaneum Espèces d’espaces (Species of Spaces) is a limited edition of 50 archival CD-R’s presenting realizations of four scores by Bruno Duplant and Ryoko Akama based on the text of the same title by Georges Perec. For this project, Duplant and Akama each contributed two scores, with both artists together performing each composition. The approaches that are taken to transforming Perec’s work are diverse and include graphic notation, text-based composition, and concrete poetry reimagined as a musical score.Each copy of «Espèces d’espaces» includes the scores themselves, elaborately presented, in the playful spirit of Perec, in the form of a jigsaw puzzle, text with transparent overlays, and vintage maps.
