A live audiovisual concert, The Inhabitants expels a whole part of the world’s chaos in 45 minutes. Prophetic and hypnotic in a torrent of ambiguous, sometimes frightening, sometimes ironic and grotesque images, born from détournement and other forms of recycling. Here, a frenetic dialogue unfolds between music and image, an abrasive music that conceals the dramatic underpinnings of a narrative structured like a corridor. The Inhabitants, whose title is a nod to Pelechian’s eponymous work, is definitively a physical experience, an abrasive concert and a synesthetic trip of savage radicalism.

A musician, he stages his music, embracing a plurality of practices: from concerts to total spectacles. Refusing to confine himself to a particular genre, he multiplies aesthetic and formal experiments. He collaborates with writers, choreographers, and digital artists. His music takes shape both in a purely pulsating electronic current and in long, abstract pieces. His albums are released by labels such as Aesthetical and Raster Media.
Having grown up surrounded by painting, Gregory Robin developed and displayed a keen visual sensibility from a very young age. A drummer for about ten years in several bands, he traded his drumsticks for a camera in the early 2000s. Alongside his solo exhibitions, primarily portraits, he specialized in concert photography. His visual exploration led him to other mediums, such as Super 8 film, with which he took his first steps behind the camera. From 2007 onward, he devoted himself entirely to filmmaking. Music and photography, rhythm and image, allow him to combine all these elements in his work. A portraitist at heart, he expresses himself through creative documentaries, with a predilection for marginalized communities and vulnerable individuals. His interest in manipulating genres leads him to imbue reality with a style sometimes bordering on fiction. In 2016, he directed his first fiction film, Le fils de quelqu’un, which explores themes dear to him. Alongside this, he continues to create numerous short forms for music and live performance, as well as experimental works.
Ræveries is an immersive musical creation conceived as an electronic nap: a concert experienced while lying down or freely, inviting the audience into a state of waking reverie.
The music, performed live, opens an inner space where images, sensations, and fragments of dreams emerge. The project draws inspiration from the surrealist universe and dream literature (Alice in Wonderland, dreamlike imaginaries), without an imposed narrative.
Marion Lhoutellier, also known as Armoni, is a multi-instrumentalist musician based in Clermont-Ferrand. Her work intimately blends acoustic violin, electronics, drum machines, and synthetic textures to create immersive, emotional, and deeply embodied soundscapes. For several years, she has been developing a unique universe at the crossroads of ambient music, sensitive electronics, and contemplative performance, with a particular focus on listening, the body, and inner states.
