Observations

Présentation de l’éditeur : A ballad for piano and improvising rhythm section of bass and drums inspired by the classic pre-surrealist masterpiece by Isidore-Lucien Ducasse (Comte de Lautréamont). “God grant that the listener, emboldened and having become at present as fierce as what he is hearing, find, without loss of bearings, his way, his wild and treacherous passage through the desolate swamps of these sombre, poison-soaked passages.”
