a storm of brilliance, the birds knew of it before it got here.

NOVEMBER 2015

We’ve reached book IV in Rupert Clervaux’s series of “Zibaldone” audio diaries, at which point we find him telling a different kind of story. 

“The first three all had very specific themes, while this one feels a little bit looser and doesn’t have just one thematic thrust,” he tells me, which maybe explains why listening feels a bit like annotating. I’m underlining, emphasizing, drawing arrows from here to there, highlighting symbols and noting motifs, realising, questioning, eureka-ing. An impressionistic meaning’s been encoded in and we’re lucky to be given the space to play that most poetic and boundless of all mental games: narrativization. 

There are no wrong answers, but Rupert offers some clues either way. If there’s any cipher here it’s “something like a meditation on the concept of ‘depth’––in all its connotative forms.” Think below the surface, (the) underground, yawning oceans, being ‘down in the dirt’, soil, roots, rootlessness, pulling at the dregs, collapse, profundity, stable and unstable horizons, distance, perspective, intuition, not to mention relative opposites: to be shallow, to be above, to be beyond. 

It’s got me thinking of Bresson’s “Bring things together that have as yet never been brought together and did not seem predisposed to be so.” His: “Dig deep where you are. Don't slip off elsewhere.” Rupert has realized these—two favourite goals of mine!—here. 

This is music that catches you at your own periphery, gives pause, has you offering a little “huh” to, asking “I wonder why” to. Again, it’s got me musing on another mindworm, this time from New York publisher and multi-sensory reading room Dispersed Holdings: “Feeling-making-knowing feedback loop; cartography of feeling; water as text, read to know the land beneath and around it, and body as reader.” 

Is it ok to offer up these other contexts out of context? I think so, because Zibaldone IV articulates a similarly swirly tone. Like, we’ve got Rebecca Solnit talking through Kropotkin’s “Mutual Aid” and later calling out to Michael Ruppert a ways away, and “Easy Rider” is playing in the wings. We’ve got Susan Sontag magically contextualizing Mariah Carey with poet Thylias Moss triangulating in order to sketch out (Rupert again) “something a little more interesting than wilful eclecticism or that laboured and patronising kind of pop-savvy.” 

Are we following? Whether yes or no Vanessa Bedoret follows on with a performance of a performance of Moss’s 'Water Road’: to be once or twice removed, via strange transitions, purposeful confusions, and, suddenly, seagulls. We’re on a boat with Ingeborg Bachmann—and how I wish I could actually be! But maybe thanks to this music I can as literature, films, friends, lethargy, coincidences, little mental links, eternal wormholes, lingering notions come together to imagine something better.

Les cerisiers 
Les japonais
Les reflets

Au printemps
Ca fleurit abondamment
J'ai un amant

Les reflets dans l'eau 
Des pétales qui coulent
Le sable est chaud

Les cerisiers 
Les japonais
Les reflets

Au printemps
Ca fleurit abondamment
J'ai un amant

Je sens l'odeur de la soupe
De la vapeur, de la bouffe
Et je cours

Pour t'apporter une lettre
Pour t'apporter une lettre

Limited run of 20 Cassettes.
Some words from the artist follow - 

The main inspiration of this project is « Amazing Grace », a well-known Christian hymn written in 1772 by the Anglican clergyman and poet John Newton, and still vividly interpreted in the Anglo-Saxon world. The text has been arranged musically with several melodies through past centuries - the most famous one being composed by William Walker around 1835. 

This hymn evokes the remission of sins by faith in God and salvation by grace, themes linked to the personal experience of the writer, former slave ship worker and trader John Newton who became a slave in his turn for 3 years in West Africa. He had, during a violent storm at sea in 1748 while he was rescued from his enslavement, called out to God for mercy. This was the beginning of his spiritual conversion to Christianity. He considered himself later a repentant sinner saved by divine grace.

I composed the EP during Avril 2020 in Paris, during the confinement and the pandemic episode which is still affecting our world and societies. The growing loneliness of my daily life, the emotional and physical distanciation from those I love, combined with a heavy sense of a possible end of mankind, pushed me to read poetry speaking of grace, divine and religious conversions. I stumbled upon « Amazing Grace » on the internet, and behind my screen, felt the urge to compose something uplifting, full of hope and mercy for my specie. Reading the life of John Newton and his progressive repentance, I decided to build a project about the life of this man and my own need of spiritual elevation, facing the fear of death and the perpetual human hesitance between Vice and Vertu.

The beginning and the internationalization of the Black Lives Matter movement after the death and assassination of George Floyd in Houston, May the 25th, gave to the project a new sense - a new interpretation ; a tragic one for sure. More than two centuries later, racism, racial violence and discriminations linked to skin color are still vivid and effective all around the world.
