The initial idea was to work on the site of Corbières in L’Estaque from recordings to restore the current sound panorama.
I knew the place for having traveled it many times during my childhood and having kept in mind a series of scenes and events lived.
When I began the composition I felt the need to bridge between the present and the past, at the time when Les Corbières was not a place of pleasure but essentially of work. A bridge to better understand the incessant flow of becoming, try to situate myself there.

The Tables:

1 The sunrise
2 Sea holes
3 The Waiting
4 The factory 1
5 The Rove Tunnel
6 The storm
7 Passages
8 The factory II
9 Beyond the shore

I thank Luc Ferrari for allowing me to use the recording of 2 sound objects that he had set during his residency at Euphonia / Grenouille in 2OO3, which are part of 2 pieces in: The Anecdotes by Luc Ferrari.
