Autoreverse

Nina Garcia – e guitar
Arnaud Rivière – diy electronics

Since 2020, at the very end of the first lock-down, Nina Garcia aka Mariachi and Arnaud Rivière, two Parisians artists & activists joined their sonic forces in Autoreverse around a bunch of speakers to build a music as immediate as incandescent. Attacks without low-cut, amplified scrap metal, caught feedbacks, provoked chances, melodies which invite themselves but do not remain for dinner, rhythmic sketches and assumed beauty zones, constructed and cracked matters, counterpoints to the line… backwards and straight ahead: file under high energy improv-noise of today !

In its three years of existence, Autoreverse has challenged its certainties on numerous international and European stages: Fimav (Canada), Angelica (Italy), Musica (Strasbourg), Instants Chavirés (Montreuil), Static Age Records (USA)…. Nina Garcia and Arnaud Rivière performed solo at : Présences Électroniques Ina GRM (Paris), EMS (Stockholm), Sonic Acts (Amsterdam), Issue Project Room (New-York), Café Oto (London), Folkteater (Goteborg), LUFF (Lausanne).

He enjoys pushing the boundaries of sound, digging into its core with a constant focus on physicality and permeability. During live performances, he engages in an instinctive and radical manner, attuning to the environment and his own body, which serves as a barometer to weave massive, organic soundscapes that unfold, intersect, blend, or decompose. The result is a thunderous barrage of abstract noise, distortions, and rhythmic heard.

This experimental work of both complementarity and friction in situ aims to question the presence and physicality of the body in sound, the gesture that transforms and mutates with and within the sound of the electronic instrument. Rejecting the juxtaposition of differences, sound and the moving body do not merely coexist in a theatrical form. The dance is neither subservient to the music nor does it illustrate it, and vice versa. The quality they seek is one of fusion, where sonic gestures merge into a single, unified physical extensions.

Their shared movement emerges from the confrontation of bodily energy and sonic energy, evolving through velocity, rupture, the overflow of one into the other, and saturation, creating the sensation of a space-time that could distort. The experience is immersive, intimate,
