1. Grand bruit (1990-91, 94) 20m55s ina_c_2018-1.1 | 14966 |

Composer: Christian Zanési

Premiere: January 21, 1991, Ina-GRM (Paris, France)

Motion engines have a basic yet amazing capacity to settle the listener-traveller ‘within,’ as if he were within a giant double bass which is stroken by a double bow: rails and air, as far as trains are concerned. In 1991, I explored this phenomenon during my everyday commutation from the studio to my home. I used only one 21-minute recording and considered it as one whole sound object. I’ve treated it and enriched it as would have done a photographer, immerging it in successive baths, and i’ve entitled it Grand bruit.

2. Saphir, sillons, silences (1998) 18m10s ina_c_2018-1.2 | 14967 |

Composer: Christian Zanési

This is in fact the idea of a theatre where ancient visions would gather: wax dolls saying “I don’t know,” far-away women singing in the rain, kind ghosts and old time sounds, non perfect sounds yet so promising. There is today great joy in treating sounds as if they were gnooves from the ’50s, great joy in recreating this technology and bringing back to life imaginany or made-up memories, thus acquiring a new temporal perspective. In this theater I’ve played with time just as in dreams with deeply buried colorful images telling us how fragile we are.

3. Constructions métalliques (2001) 15m30s ina_c_2018-1.3 | 14968 |

Composer: Christian Zanési

The sounds come from an ancient iron workshop located in the street I live in, in Saint-Ouen. It is a hundred years old. Bell chimes, welding, sawing. Sparkles, crackles, quietness. The closed-in space of the workshop. Human rythmics with age old gestures, hammer banging to bend the iron. Loud noise of machines cutting the iron as if it were paper. Regular stroke of the power hammer: precise and acurate drum machine. The giant clock of electronic music. And there are voices, the iron craftsmen voices…
