Jean-Jacques Birge

• Silkscreened chipboard jacket

Jean-Jacques Birgé and Lionel Martin decide one day to improvise from sentences of Fictions by Jorge Luis Borgès taken at random… This record testifies to an alchemy, two musicians who have never played together, plug in the microphones and tell, tell, find each other… A testimony engraved on vinyl of a short but intense moment. Silk-screened and numbered sleeve signed Ella & Pitr.

Lionel uses two loopers and effects pedals, his Keilwerth saxophone being sounded by a cell. Less soberly, Jean-Jacques, in addition to his keyboards,his two Russian synthesizers, the Lyra-8 and The Pipe, and blew, scraped, rubbed, hit all sorts of acoustic instruments
