FANTÔME TOUCAN is a collaboration between the contemporary tenor Karl Laquit and the author and sound artist Étienne Michelet. As a singer, Karl Laquit lent his voice to Toco, the main character of the book Toucan Fantôme written by Étienne Michelet and published by Abrüpt in 2021. Étienne Michelet, as a sound artist, has created acoustic and electronic arrangements, searching haunted textures to give a material where Toco can take life and find his own voice. Through the presence of this loving bird, the Dido's lamentation resonates, just like in the book, crossing the piece like a memory. This sound project has been carried on strange wings between France and South Korea, on some fairy nights, giving birth to an extatic piece with acid tessitures.
