about

The waking Dream 's compositions are inspired by" 1816 ,The year without Summer" when Mary Shelley imagined her novel Frankenstein.

At the time Shelley wrote most prolifically, the world had been plunged into semi-darkness, crop-failure, famine, and a significant increase in riots, murders, and fatal illnesses by the cataclysmic eruption of Mount Tambora, in Indonesia. In this time of Global Pandemic and Grief, looking back to the history and collective dramas is a resonating and a learning process. Hopefully, Awareness can open a room for solace and arouse our vital energy.

For each sonic piece, my creative process is the same : the voice is a spatial and dramatic language.
Words and body sounds become layers,textures,sculptural elements inducing trance like movement and images .

This audio project is not a direct,detailed storyline but a meditative exploration awakened by the present echoing to the past events that generate a dystopian vision in which poetry is merging with soundscapes and vocals.
