“Le chien qui pleure” (the crying dog) is the first collaboration between Mélia Roger and Antoine Chessex. The piece proposes an ominous montage of different human and nonhuman voices creating a detailed sonic situation where the biosphere merged with the technosphere resulting in an uncanny, and possibly fatal encounter.
Piano by Tamriko Kordzaia. 
Mixed by Mélia Roger
