KMSKA LATE – Le Scarabée d'Or

Scarabée d’Or uses sound as a lens. It does not capture the art around us, nor does it translate it into music; it filters it.

Sitting and listening, you slip into a different tempo: edges stretch, surfaces linger, details accumulate. Nothing is added, and yet the timing of what you see changes. Scarabée d’Or proposes a minimal protocol: sit, listen, watch. Scarabée d’Or runs in a continuous loop. Duration is the medium here, not rhythm. No buildup, no finale. Only perception playing with time.
