Studio 207 · 21 November, 2:00 pm - 7:00pm
FEED ME is a participatory live cooking noise performance where the acts of preparing, mixing, eating, and sharing food become instruments of sound and collective ritual.
For this edition, we propose to prepare a “Noise Ratatouille”, inspired by a traditional recipe from Julien Ottavi’s Mediterranean grandmother, transformed through sonic experimentation. Using piezo microphones, kitchen tools, and small machines, the sounds of chopping, stirring, sizzling, and plating are amplified, distorted, and mixed into an improvised noise performance and live stream.
The audience and festival participants are invited to join the cooking session — to chop, stir, play, and listen. The final dish becomes both a shared meal and the outcome of a collective composition.
- 14:00 Workshop (afternoon):
Participants collaborate to cook the ratatouille while learning how to transform everyday kitchen sounds into live instruments (piezo sensors, contact mics, DIY amplification). - 16:00 Performance (evening):
The meal preparation culminates in a live noise performance streamed online, blending the sounds of cooking, eating, and improvisation. - 17:00-19:00 Dinner / Eating Performance (closing):
The collective dinner itself becomes part of the performance — the sounds of forks, chewing, laughter, and conversation are amplified, transformed, and streamed in real time. The act of eating turns into an extended soundscape, merging conviviality with experimental music.
Founded in Nantes in 1997, APO33 moves across experimental music, noise, and collective performance. Working through DIWO actions, networked concerts, and hacked instruments, APO33 explores the shifting relations between art, technology, environment and our more than human society.
Through festivals like Electropixel and Audioblast, and research projects such as EPISTEAM and Toolkit of Care, APO33 continues to build a shifting space for experimentation, where sound becomes a tool for connection, resistance, and shared invention.
