This article is based on interviews with the French filmmakers F.J. Ossang, Marc Hurtado, and Jacques Perconte about their musical culture, linked respectively to punk, industrial, and electronic music. It aims to question what is at stake for these three artists in their vital relationship to music, and especially to noise, with a thought to the specificity of image mediums and technologies at the very core of their alchemical poetics.
