Sewing Machine Orchestra (2011)*, an entire orchestra made up of 8 Singer sewing machines from the 1940's. A performance where the leading role is assigned to the amplified orchestration of the acoustic melodies of Singer sewing machines. This melodic noise which captures the imagination and tickles the auditory system, immerses us with its evocative powers into memories of old industrial marvels. The press often coos them as “The eight little singers”, those charming ladies patiently “humming a hymn to the tangential possibilities of everyday objects“. Martin Messier doesn’t sew in front of his audience; he resuscitates old Singers put asleep years ago in order to release, in some magical ways, the luminous and sonorous presence of the past. The sound of his orchestra carries his audience to a dreamlike universe and after years of silence gives voice to the surviving hum of the industrial era. audio, performance, programming: Martin Messier electronic: Samuel St-Aubin production: 14 lieux, perte de signal This creation was made possible with the support of the Canada Council for the Arts.

Sewing Machine Orchestra (2011.)*, orkestar šivaćih mašina sastavljen od 8 singerica iz 1940-ih godina. Performans u kojemu glavnu ulogu igra pojačana orkestracija akustičnog pjeva singerica. Melodična buka koja golica maštu i škaklja slušne kanale, uranjajući nas svojom evokativnom moći u sjećanje koje priziva slike minulih industrijskih vremena. Sedma sila im često tepa ‘The eight little singers’, tim šarmantnim damama koje strpljivo ‘mumljaju himnu tangencijalnih mogućnosti svakodnevnih predmeta’. Martin Messier pred publikom ne šiva nego oživljava stare singerice uspavane prije mnogo desetljeća, na neki magičan način, lumino-sonornom prisutnošću onoga što je prošlo. Zvuk orkestra odnosi nas u sanjive univerzume i nakon godina šutnje daje glas zaboravljenim brujanjima industrijalizacije. audio performans, programiranje: Martin Messier elektronika: Samuel St-Aubin produkcija: 14 lieux, perte de signal Rad je ostvaren uz podršku kanadskog Vijeća za umjetnost (Canada Council for theArts).
