May 2020, in order to cheat boredom during the containment,
three musicians send each other improvised tracks,
without knowing what the others are doing, without thinking,
playing with spontaneity, exploring the frontier of habits,
drifting in the stream of consciousness,
exploring the possibilities of cut-up and chance...
A musical and virtual "exquisite corpse" takes place.
As soon as a sound is received, it is reworked, denatured,
recreated to give life to something new.
Each track has a random name which is itself
entered into a word generator to find the lyrics,
flirting with nonsense, abstract and surrealism.
Then images appear, the songs find their shapes
and nine pieces come to life, modern chimeras grouped together
in an unexpected album: ‘Dragons’.
Each song was turned into a video available at:
