about

Des pieds et des mains is a project of walking tour in altitude in and around the Parc des Ecrins where two musicians (Ivann Cruz : electric guitar and Peter Orins : percussions) proposed at each stage a musical improvisation inspired by the place of the refuge or a natural space and by their sensitive experience of the day's hike. The musicians' approach was to invent a singular and poetic relationship between a natural space and an original sound performance by moving around with their instruments and recording soundscapes during their journey. They have thus achieved more than 5000 m of cumulated difference in altitude while carrying all their equipment over a period of 10 days, realized 5 public concerts, 3 outdoor recording sessions and many recordings of soundscapes during the journeys they made. They invented musical impromptus where breaths, rustlings, trickles, rhythms and tensions of the walk in mountain, and other rumours populating the paths of altitude cross. The challenge of this project was to displace the creative habits of the musicians by transforming the natural environment into an active principle of the creative process. This approach allowed to generate new approaches and new musical forms while highlighting the richness of this natural heritage.

The musicians also realized different periods of residency in refuge and mountain hut during the hike in order to carry out a more thorough work of sound creation on these spaces and their surroundings. They also made a recording near a high altitude hut and recordings on wild sites accessible by paths off the marked trails accompanied by a guide around the Font Turbat refuge.

This album is a testimony of these different moments of sound invention where pieces improvised in situ in refuges and in wild sites of altitude are intertwined with sound landscapes gleaned on the paths and sites crossed. Each piece of the album was improvised and recorded in a specific place of their journey while sometimes revealing soundscapes collected during the tour.
