Je suis
Déjà partie seule,
Déjà partie loin,
Déjà partie un moment,
Déjà partie à la découverte d’une autre culture.
Mais je ne suis
Jamais partie si longtemps,
Jamais si longtemps sans connaitre personne,
Jamais si longtemps en étant sédentaire,
tout de même reliée à un point fixe.
Helsinki

Sédentaire momentanément.
Long mais aussi court,
Trop court pour se préoccuper de la décoration de son appartement,
Trop court pour investir dans du matériel qu’on ne ramènera pas,
Trop court pour se projeter dans le futur,
Trop court pour créer de solides amitiés.
Mais, tout de même,
Assez long pour se projeter un minimum,
Assez long pour connaître la ville un minimum,
Assez long pour avoir de nouveaux points de repère,
Assez long pour investir dans une carte de transport,
Assez long pour prévoir des excursions à des centaines de kilomètres,
Assez long pour faire des provisions de nourriture pour plusieurs mois,
Assez long pour rencontrer de nouveaux visages.
Mais toujours trop court pour me dire que je
suis chez moi.
Même si, après plus de deux mois passés à
côtoyer les quatre murs de mon appartement,
je sais que ce “chez moi” n’est que temporaire.
Au final, cette expérience m’aura beaucoup appris.

Et ce n’est que quand on sent la fin arriver que l’on fait tout pour la retarder.

June between Helsinki and France

Création réalisée dans le cadre du projet Phénomène Naturel du collectif @Zonedeturbulences - Mars 2021


Là, sur la plage où je venais à peine d’arriver, l’océan se mouvait et Éole chantait.

Comme une réponse à leurs va-et-vient, je me suis mise a crier fort, encore plus fort délivrant toute l’énergie et la colère que mon corps pouvait contenir. Je suis restée la, attendant une réponse, en suspens face à l’horizon.

Binaural composition -(Better listen with headphones)
May 2020
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KWVNMhr85w&t=1093s 

One morning, I opened my email box. A student from my school in France wrote to us during the night. She mentioned her nocturnal questionings during the lockdown. She shared her emotions, her doubts, her fears, her abundant thoughts during this isolation time. She was talking about how it feels to fly even though no human has ever experienced it. That same night, another student answered her and then another one ... 
That Saturday morning, I opened my mailbox and read their words. I really liked what they shared with us. That's why I asked them to record their voices in order to compose with it. Linked to their lyrics, I had imagined an atmosphere. So I went to capture sounds representing this universe I had in mind. Capture of birdsong at nightfall, dry leaves brushed away with my hands, a little waterfall, a stream, a roar of the city in the distance, a threatening crow, a woodpecker hitting the trunk of a tree ... Then to bind all these elements, I used a modular synthesizer. With it, I tried to create sounds that could compose a sound layer, screeching, distant crackling sometimes adding reverb ... I then sorted, cleaned, organized the collected sounds and the lyrics to achieve to this composition. I wished their words could fly away.
