Compo — décompo — recompo

"I approached the piece by breaking it down into three dimensions: rhythm, texture, and the relationship between inside and outside. What first caught my attention was the richness of the different sonic layers — the interplay between interior and exterior spaces, and the elevator movements that added "depth".  "The triggering element for me was water. "In connection with my project Cyclaudio, which involves recording soundscapes during my bicycle travels, I wanted to invert the original gesture of the piece: instead of going into an enclosed space to listen, I imagined a movement outward — from the inside to the outside. "I incorporated some of my own recordings, especially in the indoor sequences, to affirm that another way of listening to the world is possible — an open, living form of listening that resists being confined within walls.  "The fountain heard at one point in the original piece became, in my version, a conclusion — a pause, an opening toward the natural world, suggesting that listening to the elements might itself be a kind of therapy." Paris IRCAM soundscape reimagined by Florent Picollet.
