1993 digital” re-working of denis dufour’s 1977 piece “bocalises” (composed using solely the sounds of “glass jars, broken, crushed, and mixed together ad infinitum”) .
"trepidoptères" is a modern version of the biological process whereby a chrysalis is metamorphosed. the spiritual change involved in a journey.
"mues du son", here we find a number of wild refrains from bocalises, melodically repeated spirals in which the deliberate poorness of the material gives rise to a happy melody - for the acousmatic art has the gift of bringing forth sumptuous songs, which dufour carefully sets like precious stones
"bille bleue", here we find and hear a sort of all-powerful “sound-machine”, a jukebox or pin-ball machine, producing resonance and surrounded by thousands of submissive servants with chattering glass teeth and tibias knocking together with the clear sound of chinking porcelain. the piece ends with a false conclusion, as if in anticipation of a new work, a new beginning yet to come, a rusting of wings
