Départ pour un pays imaginaire ou les nuits sont plus noires que nos nuits d'hiver et ce malgré cette persistante lune incandescente... C'est un endroit ou les gens se croisent sans jamais même s'effleurer... Un endroit ou les visages semblent figés tel des poupées de cire... C'est un lieu dépourvu d'âme... Un lieu ou le droit de penser n'existe pas... C'est un univers malsain, incertain... Un univers de cauchemars... Un certain retours s'impose rapidement...à cause du manque d'oxygène sans aucun doute. effrayant! A.n.K.h //

Bravo et merci!

belles atmospheres. Une recherche sonore assez fine et très intéressante. Beau boulot

Univers onirique conceptuel où trolls,fées,farfadets ,humains paleolitiques et autres mammifères se cotoient en recherche de Kouki,ce biscuit fielleux et mielleux dont ils raffolent,caché dans les bois,les grottes et autres cachettes . Atmosphères surprenantes Merci Mitakuyé Oyasin

These are chapter headings, perhaps literally, in a story I have yet to assimilate and piece together. Maybe it will not reach my consciousness until the completion of listening, maybe never. The chances of the book as inspiration, may never reach English translation. I will see if I can find it. Pleine lune complète, a time of lunacy in times of yore. Now we seem to be equally mad whatever the phase of the moon. A lovely, slightly off-kilter musicality that seems apt. Deux-Flèches, a cacophony of noise as the arrows fly to target. Maybe they were aimed at the moon itself. Départ, all the noise of readying for a journey, sounds like a ship getting ready to leave a port. Sabbat, perhaps the point of the disembarkation. It has all the trappings of a black mass, reason enough to flee. Nicely dramatic and dark. La Traversée denotes a crossing, and supports the sailing-away idea. The wind whipping through the sails and the incessant crash of the sea against the bows. But, I feel not just a journey for the sake of it, one for a particular reason. An escape, or a mission I am not sure. Marche, again is quite sombre and connotes a trek of necessity, perhaps one of fleeing after all. Otherwise why, unless it is part of some pilgrimage or other similar mission. With The Temptation of Saint Anthony as the cover, by Bosch, I am more inclined to think of a sense of escaping temptation and it becoming a pilgrimage out of necessity, for the sake of a soul at risk. Gamelans still retains that sense of movement, but complete with the ringing bells of lepers or some other sect of beings, relevant to the story line. L'Appel makes me think more of a pilgrimage now. Answering a calling of some spiritual sort. It is a more introspective track. No real sense of movement, but more one of a realisation, an understanding of the point. La Forêt has all the necessary sound and atmosphere of what a forest would have meant to someone travelling in the medieval era say, full of shadows and spirits, that are constantly moving around. The cave seems to be a possible place of safety on the way, a place for hermitage. But could also be the mouth to a labyrinth of darkness, even if only housing potentially dangerous animals, bears and such like. Fête d'automne has a certain rustic charm, with an underlying sense of paganism or Romany. Le Temple full of chanting and whispering of temptations still plaguing the mind. The drums sound ritualistic. Nice interesting sound construction either way. Les Bouches, a creepy sense surrounds you, is this a deeply introspective interpretation of a sense of being, albeit temporarily maybe but profoundly unsettling nonetheless. Les Adieux a completely different atmosphere, joined by a piercing gypsy lament. Very naturalistic. It ends with Sunday morning and a time to return. Overall, without the book I am guessing, though I feel I get a sense of what was going on. However, without reading the book itself, I have to confess to some puzzling moments. A journey into sound by a very accomplished artist of whom I am very fond, made for interesting listening first thing in my morning of another voyage for myself. Nice work.

Quel travail de recherche sur les sons et la réelle création d'ambiance ! ça y est, je suis fan ! merci iN2Ni !

This was really quite an imaginative, journey into exquisite sights and sounds. That where deep,hypnotic, intriguing, magical and very atmospherically pleasing. Let alone make you think, ponder and make you feel curious about this whole soundscapes of an album in general. That seem to flicker, tease and whirl and spin within your subconscious mind and evolve and create images and photographies.The hypnotized you, put you into a trance like state of mind, body and soul. And the therapeutic rays of musical delights. Seemed to send shock waves of tranquility and light stimulation that sparkled and shined within your whole body and minds eye. It was psychedelic, trippy and bewitchingly pretty..
