Radio art

I wrote Mémoires in the summer of 2011 and dedicated it to the memory of Luc Ferrari. All the sounds used in this work belong to the Luc Ferrari sound archives and have been kindly offered by the Presqué Rien Association for which this piece has been written. No other sound sources have been used for the realization of this work. The 15 selected sounds inspired me to write a piece that would resemble an imaginary life-story. The work consists of 14 sections. The first seven sections expose the “thematic” sound material. In the remaining seven sections sounds are merged, varied and developed to the end, with the addition of a coda–like final section.
