SOUS LES MERS

"Jules Verne's undersea epic as 'barge opera' - lots of sloshing and voices speaking nasally through message tubes, 'dive' sirens, depth charges, dripping water, drifting with the current and heavy pressure on the ears... Nice waterlogged atmosphere, and a good use of electronics to dramatic and human ends. Dry fun." (Cadence)

Water ("20 000 leagues under the sea", suite in 5 movements adapted from Jules Verne).
Sex ("Ecarlate", family squabble for the ballet by Jean Gaudin).
Plus six miniatures (for short films by Patrick Barbéris).
Album full of adventures. Very instrumental.
