Featuring @len-35

Ta Prison

Le monde est vide
The world is empty

Et la recherche est sans fin
And the search is endless

Oui, tu auras toujours faim
Yes, you will always be hungry

Car elle est éternelle ta quête
Because your quest is eternal

Il n’y a pas d’issue au chemin
There is no way out

Pas une main tendue
Not an outstretched hand

Car tous ils jouent
Because they all play

Tu n’as qu’à tendre l’autre joue…
You just have to turn the other cheek...

Et sans le Graal
And without the holy grail

Tu auras mal
You will be hurt

Ad vitam aeternam

C’est bien ton âme qui pleure
It’s your soul that is crying

Am stram gram, choisis ton malheur
Eeny, meeny, choose your misfortune

Tous tes leurres t’entraînent
All your lures train you

Et tes peurs t’emmènent
And your fears take you away

C’est l’heure…
It's time…

Laisse tes rêves
Leave your dreams

Non, aucune trêve
No, no truce

Dans le labyrinthe des plaintes amères et immenses
In the labyrinth of bitter and immense complaints

Une béance, l’impuissance
A gap, impotence

Tous assoifés de sens
All thirsty for meaning

Interdit de dire alors écrire
Forbidden to say then write

Sans bruit, sans cri
Without noise, without cry

Avec bon goût, le silence
With good taste, the silence

Tout en décence vertigineuse
All in dizzying decency

Tu fuis…
You flee…

Dans ta prison, tu perds la raison
In your prison, you lose your mind

Cherche le songe
Seek the dream

Et le chemin de ta maison
And the way to your house

Tu peux tenter là de combler
You can try to fill

Remplir qui tu es et déborder vas-y
Fill who you are and overflow go ahead

Fais-toi balader par le bout de ton nez
Take a ride by the tip of your nose

Mais tu le sais
But you know it

Ces mots là sont des mensonges…
These words are lies...

Ana-Maria Avram "Metalstorm" GRM Session December 2012 w/ Stephen O'Malley

Part of the piece - 2 Kinetic studies, made during the residency at the Spatial Sound Institute in Budapest in 2016: https://soundcloud.com/svetlanamaras/sets/2-kinetic-studies

Study no.1 is guided by the principle of symmetry. The central spot of the composition is in the middle of the room - half the way on both horizontal X- and Z-axis. Each object always moves through both halves of at least one of the X- or Z-planes. The element which is being doubled, is followed by the same-pace movement of the element on the opposite side of the axis, but the movement is being reversed: element no.6 positioned on Z-4 goes from X-5 to X+5 while at the same time in the same speed element no.7 at Z+4 goes from X+5 to X-5. 
There are three elements which are the musical nucleus of the composition (1, 2, 3). These sounds are airy (noisy) but they have a recognisable pitch and form a minor triad. All other elements are tuned to these three elements which define the tonal center of the piece. This kind of interpretation of the harmonic aspect of the composition, parallels the interpretation of ‘symmetrical’ in spatial domain. 

This is a stereo mixdown of the piece.
