about

Lithophone caussard, est un ensemble de compositions crées à partir de la sonorité de 15 plaques de calcaire du causse de Sauveterre. Une mailloche confectionnée avec du buis ramassé sur place, a permis par percussion ou frottement d'obtenir la singularité sonore de chaque plaque.
L'idée était d'obtenir la sonorité de la rencontre du minérale et d'un bois emblématique du causse: une sorte de mémoire enfouie.
J'ai imaginé un peuple inconnu (Pygmus Buxus) qui aurait joué avec ces pierres, lors de rituels .
Je me suis inventé en ethnomusicologue de ce peuple invisible.
