These "subjective" experiments invent fictions related to sensual perceptions such as the sound, the sight, the odor and the touch. These perceptions are put in frictions, in contact with the architecture of a place: its surfaces, its memories, its structures, its waves.
Three times cooperate:
the first time corresponds to the setting, the preparation of a fiction.
the second time is the "public" act of this fiction, between performance

Puddingstone
Sound writing (107 wet fragments) and performance "glottale" of Natacha Musléra.
Each fragment of "Pudding Stone" (written over two years) is to be triturated, exploit, in the phone, whether that Ci is defective or not. They are "Understatements" in this direction, the 107 fragments "let more hear that they do not say". It is not a question of an oral writing but of a writing which appears in the sound one, in the space which it causes, not eluding anything of its enigma.
Description: Pudding Stone is a performance which digs in the sounds of the voice, the breath, of saliva, primarily their entropic characters, like their emissions or amplifications acoustic and electric: pipes, houses, microphones, loudspeakers, tape recorders with bands, sample digital on line, prostheses.

Les 100 cœurs
Partition for 100 mouths of Natacha Musléra.
The 100 hearts is an act to be engaged in any place, of manner spontaneous. déscriptif: At the beginning "the 100 hearts" asks for a coordinator and a taker of sound. The coordinator gathers the most mouths possible (the maximum being of 100). It distributes the "text" to saying to each mouth. It very briefly indicates what it acts: "of the scientists invented the Man in the 100 hearts, a carnal envelope percent hearts, percent hearts a dwelling, finishes the overpopulation, listen to what gives a Man 100 heart" It acts of a cenlogist, with déclamer of a draft without listening, by all the mouths gathered and in a simultaneous way. The taker of sound acts suddenly by métant microphones and by recording the precipitated chorus.
Natacha Musléra: Coordinator Precipitated Nicolas Gerber: taker of its precipitate (Nagra, magnetic tapes)
Each mouth having taken part in this act, will leave with a specimen the Partition the "Hundred Hearts".
