I performed in a tent in Geneva. Some audiences told me that the flicker of a candle light and the movement of a torch reminded them heartbeats.
The space in Lyon was in an old basement which had nice mood. But the size was not enough large to spread the tent. So, the performance partly involved more actions instead.

Exerpt from the concert in Lyon (21:44 - 43.6mb)

Perruel

framework250 compilation

Format: CDR in a special handmade package (2 Volumes)

Issue: January 2010

My new composition "Perruel" is available on the "framework250" compilation. framework is a internet radio program organized by Patrick McGinley, that mainly focuses on phonography/field recording.
This gorgeous compilation which includes over 40 artists! is the memorial issue for the 250th program that was accomplished in last September.

The titles of my composition was taken from the name of a village in France, where Patrick had lived until last Autumn for a few years.
The sound sources of this composition were mostly recorded at a shore of a stream in the village, when I visited Patrick at there with some friends.
I still often remember a salt-baked trouts that Patrick cooked by trouts from a pisciculture which the stream goes across, as well as small local folks who seemed to protect the pisciculture very well.

It is available only at framework website.
Please check framework website for the detail.
