Francois Bayle - Tremblement de terre très doux (1978)
First performance 19 mars 1979 Grand Auditorium de Radio-France, Cycle Acousmatique Ina-GRM.
climate 1 / transit 1 / landscape 1 / climat 2 / landscape 2 / transit 2 / landscape 3 (walking – jumping – sliding – flying) / climate 3 / landscape 4 / climate 4 - transit 3 / landscape 4, end.
The familiar gives birth to the strange.
These rolls, these murmurs, these sudden rushes ; this song, these peaceful circlings ; these sudden outbursts, these returns to quiescence – what do they remind us of?
This piece’s trajectory could be a figuration too of the dramatic unfolding of a day – in a life? from sunrise (climate 1) to night (landscape 4) via the unquiet encounters of the transits (1 to 3) that anounce the drama climaxing in landscape 3, before reaching its denouement in climate 4.
The subterranean properties inherent to listening gently rock our ideas …
