This piece "Walking On Water" is inspired by the photograph "Djibouti Rocks and Wavers". While you can see the waves I wanted to recreate the sound of the rocks. I looked for Russian music, in particular I searched for a violin. I found on Free Music Archive the music by Kosta T / Konstantin Trokay. I thought to put together the sound of sea water and the music of the violin. There is a moment when the string of the violin seems to break. After that moment I imagine the possibility of the clouds to become a path and I introduced my recording of the steps of a woman walking in South Kensington Tube in London. The rocks become "visible"  and I also suggest the idea of walking on water. The sound of the steps also suggests a heart beat.
