De part et d’autre is a passage from one country to another, a journey between the different soundscapes I encountered while studying in Birmingham (United Kingdom), long waits in stations and airports on both sides of the English Channel.

Outdoor recordings are juxtaposed with various confined spaces, which are in turn juxtaposed with moving objects and instrumental transmutations that induce the energy of the piece.
