Recordings coming from a department of the central France, La Creuse, by Eric La Casa and Cédric Peyronnet (aka Toy Bizarre), veterans of the experimental scene who deal with this genre of research from such a long time.
It’s a collaborative work with peculiar attributes: each of the two artists made raw recordings in specific locations, sending the result to the other and vice versa, in order to re-edit and re-work each other the collected material.
For the purpose, the area has been geographically divided into sites to explore according to this approach.
Thus, the nine pieces have received two different levels of treatment, but the finished product shows a consistent continuity among the tracks.
Climatic events (primarily) and other environmental situations are reported here, picked up in visual perspective (less manipulated by La Casa, a bit more by Peyronnet through electronic processes) and, as consequence, you can almost watch what you hear.
Field recordings at their maximum state of purity, well representing a fascinating district of France.
