A mix of absurd poetry and homemade music, these seven songs and two instrumentals give life to Frédéric Le Junter and Pierre Berthet's musical creations founded on quirky objects.
Unreleased recordings from Vandoeuvre's Musique Action Festival, produced between 1998 and 1992 for the festival's 10th anniversary. The blossoming style of the music of the 80s can be heard throughout the album.
Art production of the last few decades has given rise to an increasing number of ambiguous or paradoxical situations related to the musical form (score, stage area, lute-making, CD, video...) thus transcending the traditional divisions between space, time and movement.

For his first ever conceptual piece from 1990, Frédéric Acquaviva collaborated with Australian pianist Mark Knoop on the recording of all harmonic frequencies using only the damper pedal of a piano.
This trio has only one line of instrumentation and remains in total harmony throughout, though the melodies and the rhythms often arise from unexpected places. An incisive and vertiginous climb towards pleasure and dreams, street music and dance music; these fragile and volatile moments were fixed in concert in Vandœuvre in 1989.
These tracks were recorded during the 1985 Musique Action Internationale festival, organised by CCAM. This vinyl record is a remnant of those days dedicated to new music.

The music of "Senzatempo", by Italian duo Ozmotic and guitarist, composer and electronic musician Christian Fennesz, moves in balance between composition and improvisation. It is a symphonic work for an imaginary orchestra in which melodies, counterpoints, dynamics and sonorities define a structural breadth reminiscent of classical music.
The most accomplished tale of Jean Lorrain (1855-1906), decadent dandy, ardent erotomaniac and corrosive pen, accompanied by a new piece by Nurse With Wound.
With their sixth studio album, Oiseaux-Tempête unveils a new facet of its mythology through a dense work that carries darkness towards the light of day, that rumbles, calms down and warms up again.

"Two Duos" is pressed from cellist Okkyung Lee's OTO Residency; the first side a duo with Jérôme Noetinger on Revox B77 and the second with Nadia Ratsimandresy on ondes Martenot. Cut together, the two meetings seem to raise three cellos in the search for expressive voice: the cello, it's magnetic reproduction, and the dual controls of the machine invented to expand on its musical qualities.
