Gérard Grisey - Charme pour clarinette seule

teardrop

While trying to record wolves (once again) this rather big moth, perhaps pine hawk moth, approached both of my Clippy microphones. A nice warm sound. This has happened so many times by now so I wonder if they are attracted to my grey Bubblebee wind protection...! In the background you hear  the wartbiter chorus all the time.

Moth and wartbiters

Tristan Murail - L'Esprit Des Dunes

Ce sont des lignes, toujours, des lignes, qui tracent à partir de points.
Ce sont des centres de gravité d’une terre légère.
Quelques mots puisqu’il en faut——quelques traces puisqu’il en reste.
Ce sont des affects et des coupures qui relient puisqu’elles divisent.
Ce sont des corps, des gestes et ce qui reste.

ENRACINEMENTS w/ Alexis Degrenier (27.05.25)

The thrush nightingale (Luscinia luscinia) sings at warm spring night. It’s crystal clear, loud and beautiful song echoes from the barn wall. In northern Europe summer spring nights won’t get dark at all and therefore nightingale continues singing from dusk to dawn. Some sheep make noise in the barn walking around.

Nightingale at Spring Night

Tenebrae, extrait 1

Calm, warm night and a nightingale. The crystal clear tone of the night is enchanting. One of the best moments in the spring.

The croaking chorus of male common frogs (Rana temporaria) in April night. The fog-horn boom of Eurasian bittern (Botaurus stellaris) echoes from near lake.
