Imaginary recording of a John Dowland song.

I conceived this composition as a piece for voice and percussion “in real-time” which was recorded in an imaginary world with physical laws different from ours, or in a dream where things are organized in an impossible yet logical fashion. In this piece, I try to create the sensation that it has been played somewhere and that one is hearing a recording and not an electroacoustic work. Nevertheless, this “poietic” aspect may remain hidden from the listener or may not be evident to him/her.
