A book of poems by the composer of musique concrète.
Lionel Marchetti (born 1967 in Marseille) is a composer of musique concrète—his compositions are often described as a true cinema for the ear—as well as an improviser (electronics, various analogic systems with modified speakers, REVOX reel-to-reel recorder…) and a poet. He also writes essays on the art of musique concrète from the perspective of a practicing artist. To sum up his work in a single phrase, he likes to quote Kenneth White: "Concrete or abstract? I love the abstract where a trace of substance remains, the concrete that refines itself at the borders of emptiness."
