Begun in a little apartment on Rue Pierre Corneille in Lyon, France in April 2010, "LYON" is complete at last. Please enjoy listening to opening track "Genève à Lyon," featuring Chicago-based violinist/violist Andra Kulans, and return here for music, stories, photos, field recordings, videos, and poetry by French author Pierre Ducrozet in the run-up to the album's release on the 2017 spring equinox.
Before Lyon was even a possibility, I spent some rather fraught time in South Korea.
My last moments there – watching the sun rise over mountains surrounding
the city of Daegu – were slow-motion sepia tones. The first moments in
Europe, by contrast, were lush countryside and 3D low-hanging metallic clouds –
all racing by a train window en route from Geneva to Lyon. A bracing
beginning – color-speed and ultra-sensory beauty after a long, greyish
burn in lonely places.
La
ville, pourtant, n’était encore qu’une idée.
