"mais quand je lève les yeux vers le monde

tout me semble trop, trop rempli, trop rapide, trop pour moi

c'est trop ce qu'il faut être, il faut trop être

il y a trop plein d'être peut-être

peut-être que je suis trop plein d'être après tout

et que dans ce décalage, je me retrouve soit en-deça, soit au-dessus

toujours avec une posture, une position, il faut se positionner

il faut une position, il faut être dans toutes ses dimensions

et l'exprimer, le faire valoir" (Nathalie Vanderlinden, extrait de https://thinconsolation.bandcamp.com/album/de-branche-en-branche )

Mixtape composée fin août, début septembre 2024, pour N.

"Once again, they gathered at the house. It was another evening in August, a couple of weeks after the previous session. It was still warm, and it had rained again in the afternoon. Hughes wasn't with them this time, but Philippe was, and Antonin had asked Nathalie to join them. She read some of her poems."

"ReCOMPTINE Bis" is the latest variation on "COMPTINE", released almost a decade ago on a Thin Consolation compilation. It was my first - and maybe too prudent - attempt at ambient techno, and I felt the need to push it further. The second and third versions were born during sad and strange times, for me—the most important love story of my life was coming to an end, my mother died, and I was drinking too much—and for everybody—we were merely recovering from the so-called austerity policies and the pandemic took us by surprise, locking us away from each other and from the dancefloors for quite a while… But then, the clubs reopened, the love of my life became my best friend, and I managed to take control of my drinking problem. So this ultimate variation is bouncing with a renewed energy and sparkling with hope, its melancholy still lying in the back, only to keep tracks of where (we) I come from. In short, let our sweat and tears—of both joy and sorrow—flow freely on the dance floor!

Recorded at Steph's place one afternoon in August, 2017, while people were eating spaghettis and drinking loads of strong beer. Hence the simmering (in your own juice) feeling.
