Bio :
PJ PARGAS (çavadkp
/ silent move - Lyon)
Composer and designer, PJ
Pargas graduated from the Valences Fine Arts School. Since the mid
1990’s, he has been experimenting with digital visual and audio
interactivities. As an independant worker, he mixes commissioned
works and artistic projects.
In 2001, as a co-founder of the artistic collective DopeBase, (Lyon’s
electronic music platform) he achieved several collective and personal
projects (LP, performances, installations, etc.). He multiplies collaborations
with artists and collectives of various universes and fields.
From 2006 onwards, besides his own projects broadcasting and his
different artistic approaches, he’s also been animating creative
digital workshops for schools, secondary schools or even companies.
PJ pargas works on tension relations between rythmic material,melodies
and visuals ; searching ways of creating new forms of digital writing,
as it can be found in his « projet_M.T. » or in [detur], a collaborative
work with La mèche (VJ) or in « Boîte à musique ». The latest is
an installation/performance created with choregrapher Delphine Gaud,
who also introduces the notion of participation and interdisciplinarity.
Always looking for new paths, he creates a dark and troubled, hectic
universe, filled with bugs, pixels, micro cuts and super 8, where
strange breaks and melodic vortex create a true sensorial collison,
where calm and tension mix endlessly.
