The inspiration for “Le Vitrail” comes from my shared time with an amazing stained glass from the 15th century.
In a uncrowded and silent corner of my favorite museum, I’m always all alone with it. It’s really meditative.

This piece is so magnificent, it challenges the principles of time where the 700 years old dust becomes an intrinsic part of its beauty.
To me, the sublime aging signs of it are comparable to the sonic imperfections and the fragility of the tape medium.

Like my album Nature Morte, each piece is made of only one manipulated tape loop.
These restrictions forced me to create slow evolving soundscapes of intertwining melodies/frequencies.
