The latest project of @C, Homem Fantasma, consists of three pieces, each about 40 minutes long. This is electronic music made with studio and field recordings, electronic instruments and digital processing. Result: three beautiful soundscapes. These recordings confront me with a challenge.

Trois pièces de 35 à 40 minutes chacune, toutes trois très poignantes, avec un feeling “en concert”.
