Sound textures to wander over the dream small town woven by Cécile Dachary.
Scene 1- rumor: when approaching toward the town, the indistinct rumor progressively becomes more detailed, such as sounds of the street and of passers-by.
Scene 2 - inside the factory: a polyphony of machines in continuous or repetitive processes.
Scene 3 - at an inhabitant's: attracted by notes from a piano, we introduce into the home of a collector of sound objects.
Scene 4 - at the market: the stallholders' shouts, like choruses in the music.
Scene 5 - conviviality: around the bridge: cafés, restaurants and street musics.
Sound material: synthesizers, original sound captures by the author, Apple Logic sound bank.
