« The Concerto for Swimming Pool and BBQ » is a 45 minutes piece, played live once in August 21th 2012 in the arenas of a small south-west french city called Captieux (near Bordeaux). It was commissioned for the Castrametation event, curated by the Mobylette Collective.

La Galerie du cartable is a french experimental art collective involved in the area of mixed media (performance, cinema, sound poetry, improvised music), including Fabrice Cotinat, David Legrand and Henrique Martins-Duarte (aka Pierre Henrique).

For the Concerto, La Galerie du cartable conceived a four-speakers public performance combinating direct sounds from a real barbecue and a swimming pool with field recordings loops and electronic devices.

Fabrice Cotinat played knifes, vegetables, sausages and BBQ, sounds picked up with a microphone and filtered by a sound-effects pedal.
David Legrand played glasses, voice/vocoder and feet in the water, sounds picked up with piezo microphones.
Pierre Henrique Martins-Duarte was on the mixing board, played laptop (field recordings loops, samples, metasynth software) and Korg monotron.

For this tribute compilation, AliceRabbit (aka H. Martins-Duarte) made a specific 4’33 edit, keeping the structure and the spirit of the original performance.
