/// This is a collection of 6 covers selected with absolutely no consistency!
/// Fais descendre sur nous la douceur, et fais monter les basses.
Ouvre le flux neutre des nappes et prépare le terrain.
Massif et délicat, un peu fauve un peu ombre, il suit la trace et nous précède.
C'est une grotte où ont pris refuge des mélodies passées. Mélodies souvenues qui résonnent, tombent goutte à goutte sur les parois rocheuses et lisses. Il y a établi son domaine, sur un lit de mousse et de sable, parmi la lumière verte, les réverbérations arctiques, et parmi les échos.
Tous les jours le soleil passe devant le repaire, s’arrête un temps, bien face à l'ouverture, et se penche un petit peu. Il irradie alors les bleus et verts, diffracte les reflets et tresse les voix errantes. Alors on pense furtivement que la vie est belle, qu'il n'y a plus rien à fuir, et plus rien à cacher.
Puis l'éblouissement passe, la lumière devient grise.
Elle retombe en poussière sur le lit de sable et de mousse, qui garde longtemps sa douceur.

/// O let gentleness rest on us, and let the bass raise.
Let the neutral flows come in, get every thing ready.
Massive, and delicate, half untamed and half a shadow, he follows the trail and walks ahead of us.
It is a cave, the dwelling place of distant songs. Remembered songs echoing, dripping on walls, on smoothened rocks. There he has set up his realm, among green light, among echoes, on a soft bed of sand and moss.
Everyday the sun walks by the den, stops for a while facing the gap, looks in and bends a little. Then it radiates on the blues and the greens, diffracts the reflections, plaits the wandering voices. Then furtively life’s wonderful, nothing to flee, nothing to hide.
The glare goes by, light fades to grey.
It turns into powder, rests on the bed of sand and moss, and keeps it gentle for a while.
