Thomas Laigle

m-O-m Pulse

m-O-m (acronym for musique-Orchestrale-magnétique) was born of an obsession: giving voice to light. In his latest set [pulses], somewhere between electronic music concert and DIY installation, Thomas Laigle interconnects light and sound to the point of forming a single entity. Using microphones to pick up magnetic vibrations and effects pedals, the parasites generated by selected light bulbs become the rhythm of a music that borders on noise and electronica. Vibratory jerks lasting a few milliseconds open up an infinitesimal rift, enabling the deployment of a polyrhythm that juggles flashes and darkness, subtle sparkles and deep detonations.
