Frozen birds in Jokulsarlon, Iceland
Mark Wilden
Philippe Neau
"A trip to Iceland today, and the sound of flocks of birds echoing over Jökulsárlón lagoon, the deepest lake in the country and regarded as one its natural wonders." C&M
"Philippe Neau has reimagined the birdsong as if from a distance, obfuscating the bird calls as if we were hearing them calling out through deep fog." C&M

I wanted “to work with a voice over the sounds and noises. I wanted to play with the opposition of the melody of the voices and noises from the city, the world. I used this recording, and field recordings from my place and I reworked everything with various software.”

Spain and banks.
Sounds call me : voices and noises, energy and movements.
I try to mixed it so as to find a space between parade, protest, riot and time it ends
I would like to play with the opposition of action and endless

The skeleton of an armchair rests along the coastline
of the Salton Sea in Bombay Beach, California, in 2014.
The Salton Sea was formed in the early 1900s when the
Colorado River breached an irrigation canal, creating
a large lake in the middle of the Southern California
desert. The area became a thriving resort town, but
as agricultural runoff gradually accumulated in the
lake's waters,
the Salton Sea became toxic, driving away tourists
and wildlife. The region is now a shadow of its
former self.
Le squelette d'un fauteuil repose le long de la côte
de la mer de Salton à Bombay Beach, en Californie, en 2014.
La mer de Salton a été formée au début des années 1900 lorsque le
Colorado River a violé un canal d'irrigation, créant
un grand lac au milieu de la Californie du Sud
désert. La région est devenue une station balnéaire prospère, mais
comme le ruissellement agricole accumulé progressivement dans le
les eaux du lac,
la mer de Salton est devenue toxique, chassant les touristes
et la faune. La région est maintenant l'ombre de son
ancien moi.

Philippe Neau reimagined this sound, and simply writes of his piece: “Paris. France. January. Birds. Birdy birds. People. Flight and walk. Waiting for the sun.”

I used "Retired ferry PA sounds".
I liked its enigmatic, quirky character... the voice, the breath effect... the drone that appears almost at the end...
From there, I imagined myself in a basement, maybe -to be a hallway, moist, foggy, humid, dense with a pale light walking in search of the exit or a living soul... this automatic voice endlessly repeating something incongruous, incoherent with intelligence inaccessible now... I let the process do... the sounds went wrong, the mind wandered in the strata...

I used the track "PORTUGAL LISBON Estacio do Oriente: AMBTran, Train tation, Ambience, Under Bus Station, Big Hall, Reverb, Distance Chatter, People Walk By, Lisboa, Estação do Oriente, FTUS, 19232, 05.
I liked the impression of walking, moving around, as if we were following someone's walk in sound with voices, noises, wind, a breath. I liked the title of the piece too. An evocation of a distant land. From there, I imagined a stroll through a city wetter, more oragnic and with a pale glow. Noises, muffled sounds, textures, voices, the wind create another more incongruous or surprising density. I let my mind wander in this new landscape.
