about

j'aimerais dire le moins de bêtises possible is the sound-centered chapter of a project called qu'en est-il de l'anguille ?

In regard to Chris Copyai's question : " What's the point of a work devoted to transparency while based on the intentional obscuration of information ? ", this chapter offers a peek at what a given territory very own datas can sound like. Voluntarily staying out of any narrative attempt, it is all made of grainy crumblings, found through serendipitous sonic probing.

All the data used for this piece comes from Guerande's peninsula and the city of Saint-Nazaire (in Brittany, France). Are heard, without any particular order, theh GPS coordinates of its border towns, Saint-Nazaire's ZIP code, geological analysis from its soil, and a numerological take on the words PIMPENAUD and GARGANTUA.

This project was funded thanks to the artistic creation fund of the city of Saint-Nazaire.
