about

La production de cet album a été réalisée en collaboration avec Céline Goldberger, qui y participe. Sur la base d’un amour mutuel pour l'improvisation, nous nous sommes retrouvés régulièrement pour improviser ensemble et c’est de ces rencontres que ce projet est né. Avec le temps, il a pris la forme de ces trois longues, paisibles et introspectives « invocations ».

Après coup, en nous rendant compte que leur durée totale approchait une heure, nous avons décidé de faire durer l'album exactement une heure afin qu'il puisse aussi servir d'accompagnement à différentes activités ou sessions qui durent précisément une heure.

The production of this album was made in collaboration with Céline Goldberger, who participates in it. Out of a mutual love for improvisation, we met regularly to improvise and, out of those sessions, this project was born. In time, it took the form of these three long, peaceful, introspective "invocations."

As an afterthought, when we realized that their total duration came close to an hour, we decided to have the album last exactly an hour, so that it may also be used as a accompaniment for different activities or sessions lasting precisely an hour.
