   Jean-Marc Foussat (VCS III, piano, guitar, voice)
   Featuring
   Jac Berrocal
   Jean-François Pauvros
   Roger Turner

Sonic explorations of the highest order.  Behind his megnetophones, Jean-Marc Foussat catches everyday life adn restores it through sound poems with refinement, violence but no chattering.  Everything is music: voices, city noise, water, night, love, shouts, tears, bodies, air --- a trip from infinitely loud to infinitely low sounds.  He uses his instruments (synthesizer, magnetophones and microphones) as filters for his own understanding and arranges life's sounds with his own heart's rhythm.

"...memory, detail,
accurate pleasure, accurate pain,
accidents fervently embraced,
we're everything we've ever heard,
everything we're seen, touched, smelled,
clandestine collections, re-collected, re-formed,
suddenly it isn't yesterday anymore
the present wells up like a tear
want to die, I do not
want to die..."

Fred Frith, from the liner notes
