Abimie (2026)


(Cycle of the Same Journey)


FR - ENG




Stereo acousmatic piece, 15'
Composed partly in the Studio Arts Sonores at La Briqueterie in Amiens


Memories come to life when you believe in them. Magic, too. But in a lantern, why?
By pulling too hard on the pulleys, the magic lantern breaks. The images freeze.
So, a huge machine whines, groans. And, in this goddamn darkness, there’s no way to help it, or even to know what it is. Humans drain it of its sound; it’s wrecked on the spot, abimée.

The Cycle of the Same Journey is a collection of acousmatic pieces in stereo—an episodic listening experience and a field recording project centred on the idea of erasure. Instantaneous or imperceptible, natural and magnificent. Human and violent, strange, spiritual. Each piece is a step in this journey, where variations on this same destruction lie hidden within the sounds.
