In the spirit of the GRM’s acousmatic works, such as “L’Enfer” by Bernard Parmegiani or “Suite pour Edgar Poe” by Guy Reibel. I wrote music inspired by this mysterious, perhaps
imaginary land, at the edge of the human spirit, where a lonesome traveler walks among the shadows, advancing through harsh and hostile nature, “Out of space – Out of time ”. An Earth that evokes purgatory, loneliness and introspection. The aridity of the landscape creates an explicitly vertiginous map where one crosses paths with past memories, lonely angels and an idol named Night. The aridity of the landscape is interpreted through the EMS synthi’s electronics, ideal for its attack, brightness and deep bass sounds, like “Mountains toppling evermore into seas without a shore”. The piece ends with a sound recording made in the middle of winter on a deserted beach in the French Landes region during a storm.
