The 2009 programme of De Vleeshal begins with the lecture/performance of the French visual artist and composer Samon Takahashi (Paris, 1970). In the work Étude Aux Allures the artist gathers several works exploring the resources and the relationships inside a collection of vinyl records of experimental music.

Plundersymphony (2006) is a mean to divide in five parts a vinyl collection organised by a chromatic order. It functions as a score based on the infinite combinations proposed by its components, the records themselves. The only instructions here are led by the titles of each section (ie : “In fractured silence”, or “Abend der schwarzen Folklore”)
L’Enchanteur (2007) is a digital jukebox in progress. La Circonférence des Oiseaux (2003) is an audiovisual object created for a musicological utopia.
Cover Version (2008) is an attempt to address the history of art through the iconography of kits disks related to avant-garde sound, a new exercise reconciliations using coercion square format.
In this project Takahashi is trying to find a construction for the important relationship running through the image and the sound. Which is also the interdisciplinary identity of the artist. His works has been shown in exhibition spaces as well concert contexts. Samon Takahashi took part specially in exhibitions and projects based on the interferences of different disciplines like Radiodays (De Appel Foundation Amsterdam 2005) or Playlist (Palais de Tokyo, Paris 2004)
