| | Wednesday, 22 February 2012 |  This recording was created on February 21st, shortly after the morning concentration at the Amphiteater. My walk started at the Matrimandir's gate toward the Banyan and back through the peace area, where I recorded conversations, guests entering the Matrimandir, workers busy in their tasks, and the songs of many birds. All the while, the rhythm of my feet on the earth accompanies the diverse sounds of the recording. Soundscapes, to me, share the beauty of a space in a way that doesn't have to be communicated in words; nothing but pure sound.

| | Friday, 09 September 2011 |  C'est l'heure oú les idées toutes faites tombent et se cassent. Plus rien ne reste sous nos têtes. En tombant, les idées toutes faites font détranges bruits, et c'est la fête ! Nous sommes dans un jardin d'enfants ! Tout est un jeu,ne nous prenons plus au sérieux: C'est l'heure de l'inattendu. Nous sommes tous sur le même terrain de jeu. Inspiration: Stage de radio créative offert par Chloé, les textes de Jean Tardieu et M. Druon, Euridyce, Yvelise, Manohar et les chaises grinçantes du cinema Paradiso.

| | Friday, 25 February 2011 |  Woven like dreams, images, reflections, music that evokes memories... Holger, Matt, Max ZT, Leonard and Jean gave us a special present during this week of celebrations. It happens to be that at the same time it's also Holger's 20th anniversary of his arrival in Auroville. Out of many pictures taken by Leonard, Holger and Giorgio, a stroll , a promenade was created accompanied by abstract images, telling a story, a vision we never knew, although known to us within. Melodies, accompanied by distorted singing of the mantra, carried us further than the images themselves. Like a long forgotten memory, or a flash back of something that might be there, so palpable but not really within our reach.

| | Thursday, 07 October 2010 |  And there was a sound...from far. Maybe heard by someone or something. How many messages do we send out every second? Maybe heard by someone or something. Responds or messages, communication in vain? And yet, we want it or not, we plan it or not, Divine does play its own role, the way it can, in given circumstances. And how often do we thank for the grace and blessings showered on us? Bounties of life are given to us over and over, on this small dot, called Earth in endless Universe.
