Classic 1975 recording of mostly quiet, resonating electronic sounds. "With the music of Bernard Parmegiani something in us is freed and comes out of passivity. This thing, which I know now was blocked without my knowing where, is the buzzing and Time within the flesh -- a humming of millions of closed mouths between the cells. What is the murmur made up of? The body develops a tongue in listening to this music, and there is within it great movement of the sound material... it is music that makes the organic breathe, lifts it up and stretches it... music that takes the ear 'beyond' work, but touching the inner side.

“Premiered in 1975 and originally released in half its form by INA GRM in 1978, it is regarded by many as Parmegiani's great masterpiece and among the most historically important electroacoustic works of all time.”
