Valentin Pedler
After having attended the musicology faculty of Tours for two years in 2010/2012, I enter the Jazz school in Tours in the professional course musique actuelle. In 2014, after leaving school, I create the Prima Materia association, the role of which will be to adapt a Space Opera. This project gathers the music groups Mopa (composed of 7 musicians), of the duo Le Tombeau des Alchimistes, some illustration/graphic work of Lohengrin Papadato, and many other collaborations with musicians and plastic artists. All these projects tell various chapters of a science-fiction story written for the occasion. In 2016, I form the group Thé Vanille. In parallel, I am employed by Radio Béton from 2017 to 2018 as radio host/programmer/technician. In 2019, I become laureate of the JUMP plan. It allows me to continue my multidisciplinary research work with plastic artists and actors. Within the collective creation, I imagine and create an orchestra with sixteen speakers, an acousmatic object named IDR. Later on, the project will be supported by Le Temps Machine. Nymphes, collaboration with the actress Diane Pasquet begins in September 2019 around a quadraphonic sound play on the theme of intersectionality, to answer an order from the Désir Désir festival in Tours. The duo resides several weeks in the Tours CDN (National Drama Center) to refine the work and is accompanied to record a sound play for the CDN
