My main tools for composing this music were Zebra and Bidule, for all the synthesized sounds, and some samples of trams treated with different audio tools (SoundToys mainly).

I composed this music in 2009 for a short film that was writen, filmed and produced by Olivier Ramberti, Claire Sichez, Thomas Lasbouygues and Nathanaëlle Pineau. This movie is a personal interpretation of Andersen's tale ‘The Little Match Girl’. The main character of the film, a young homeless girl, protects herself in a tram shelter in midwinter, asking for the fire to light her cigarettes and warm her up. As she relaxes, she enters into a new dream, each time looking for a light in the dark. And each time, her dream turns into nightmare.

"115" (Passagère) - Dream #5 - The tram

This music is about a young girl wandering between the trees in a forest at night, walking on leaves and branches. She meets threatening wild animals and strange wisps.

My main tools for composing this music were Zebra, Bidule and MetaSynth for sound generation, then SoundHack and GRM Tools for audio treatments - as well as Numerology for some rhythmic stuff. I also recorded my own breath, morphed with SoundHack, with the final help of +binaural from Tom Erbe (SoundHack).

"115" (Passagère) - Dream #4 - The forest

This music is about a young girl wandering in a cave, looking for a light, then quietly dancing amongst the glows of many colorful rocks, until she collapses on the ground.

My tools for composing this music were mainly Zebra and Bidule. I recorded some sicilian volcanic rocks rubbed together, and treated them with several audio tools. I also made use of some percussive samples, then used SoundHack and GRM Tools for the audio treatments, as well as Numerology for all the rhythmic stuff.

"115" (Passagère) - Dream #3 - The cave

This music is about a young girl sleeping in her bed, in a quiet room illuminated by moonlight. Suddenly, she becomes really nervous, and her body slides on the floor and the walls until it reaches the end of a hallway, where the light of a room shines under the door.

My main tools for composing this music were Zebra, Bidule and MetaSynth for the atmospheric part of the piece, then SoundHack, SoundToys and GRM Tools for the audio treatments. Many twisted stuff (plastic or textile) were recorded then treated with audio tools.

"115" (Passagère) - Dream #2 - The room

This music is about a young girl wandering in a pool, catching sight of a light under a door and listening to strange whispered conversations. She finds herself quietly swimming in the pool at night, until she loses control and drowns in a scream.

My main tools for composing this music were Zebra, Uhbik, Bidule, SoundHack, MetaSynth and GRM Tools for sound generation and audio treatments, as well as some Ircam sound banks for solo violin sounds. Some liquid sounds were recorded then treated. My own voice was used in layers to create the whispered conversations. The sonar beep at the beginning and the end of this piece represents the first milliseconds of a woman's cry. At the end of the piece, the beep sound shifts until it turns into a recognizable human cry. Then this cry has been morphed with the sound of a jet turbine using SoundHack and Runciter (U-He Uhbik), with heavy use of pitch shifting.
