City Diaries
Bruno Bernard 2024
(english)
"City Diaries" is a refection on our city lives, a daily imaginary journey that invites us to
introspection. Te world of sound that surrounds us is experienced in a unique way by
each and every one of us, yet we all share it.
Each stroll is unique, each moment unique.
It's up to us to make these situations our own, to build our own dream cosmology.
Considering the creative power of what surrounds us as a tool for inner construction, as
poetry, is a response to our materialistic lives and can help us better apprehend the
modern world.
True to Gaston Bachelard, the aim here is to give free rein to daydreaming, while at the
same time giving full artistic expression to the noise of our times, an essential concept
developed by Luigi Russolo.
City Diaries was composed from sounds collected at night in my city (Chalon sur
Saône), which gave rise to an imaginary vocabulary for this acousmatic piece.
Our sound context is a refection of our times, and it's up to us to seize it and, like
modern alchemists, appropriate one of the last things that is free - noise - and transform
it into a work of art. Fortunately, it's one of the last things we have free access to.

« City Diaries » est une réfexion autour de nos vies citadines, un parcours imaginaire
quotidien qui nous invite à l'introspection. L'univers sonore qui nous entoure, à la fois
ressenti de manière unique par chacun d'entre nous, nous est pourtant commun, nous
l'avons en partage.
Chaque déambulation est singulière, chaque moment est unique.
C'est à nous de nous approprier ces situations afn de construire une cosmologie onirique
qui nous soit propre.
Envisager la puissance créative de ce qui nous entoure comme un outil de construction
intérieure, une poésie, est une réponse à nos vies matérialistes et peut nous aider à mieux
appréhender le monde moderne.
Fidèle à Gaston Bachelard, il s'agit ici de laisser libre cours à la rêverie et en même temps
donner toute son importance artistique au bruit de notre époque, concept essentiel
développé par Luigi Russolo.
City Diaries a été composé à partir de sons collectés de nuit dans ma ville (Chalon sur
Saône) qui ont donné naissance à un vocabulaire imaginaire permettant de construire
cette pièce acousmatique.
Notre contexte sonore est le refet de notre époque, à nous de nous en emparer pour, tels
des alchimistes modernes, s'approprier une des dernières choses qui soit gratuite -le
bruit- et le transformer en oeuvre artistique. C'est heureusement une des dernière chose
qui soit nous accessible librement.

Høll (Prague, Czech Republic)| 'Forest asymmetry'

Throughout the next superb hypnotic and captivating musical adventure, you’ll notice a visible row of trees with widely spread branches (sounds) seemingly in the middle of the wilderness forest. As we delve deeper, wetter, and dimly lit areas, we note that these trees would become obviously asymmetrical as the branches (sounds) grew toward the sunny side (bright/encouraging/promising beats) and away from the shaded side (obscure/dusky/murky beats). Definitely, a well crafted mix full of powerful sounds, hidden messages and moods that create deep positive impacts. Undoubtedly the forest is an incalculable source of wealth that contributes to the integral development of society.

Eafhm (México City, México) | ‘Tribute to 横 田 進’ Sakura

This piece is a part of 4 Audiovisual presentations prepared by the artist Eafhm as a tribute and commemoration of the life of the late artist 横 田 進

“Yokota’s music was always completely individual, always esoteric yet never willfully indulgent. His touch was that of a master craftsman, creating intricate musical jewels that sparkled like no others. There’s no doubt that if he had been in a position to play live concerts his reputation would far exceed many of his contemporaries. He will be sorely missed by those who value quality and originality in music”.

A clear tribute Eafhm make to him consisting of several sessions and live performances with a special dedication, full of love and a lot of hard work on. Fun, demented, freewheeling, colourful, narcotic and oddly human. A fully acknowledgment of gratitude, respect and admiration. Timeless. Thanks.

Original Artwork from the album 'Sakura' by Susumu Yokota

s.soo (Russia) | ‘T E H M F T W L’

As if it was a science fiction movie, our brain gives wings to THE imagination. It is like entering a futuristic but abandoned machinery fabric in the middle of nature EARTH, far away from the suffocating concrete jungle. Suddenly, after going through all the corridors and observing all kind of weird machines and its sounds, a long distance powerful lfo sound from a noisy machine is getting closer and closer until it cools down smoothly. It HAS been a brilliant experimental dron intro with perfect melodic saturation. Once outdoors, breathing the flora and fauna MUSIC, I’m ready to explore the surroundings FOR a little while (excellent textures and good sound design). THOSE percussion grooves melting with imponent noisy bass dark sounds, give way to the night. Full moon and no light at all (wonderful gloomy soundscapes accompanied with interesting well processed field recordings footsteps). I can hear someone, WHO is talking to me? Hey, LISTEN! Definitely ‘The Earth Hath Music For Those Who Listen’.
