ouvertur à paque - 1st tapeThere is no specific process apllied by Guinea Pig. Guinea Pig walks around and picks up sounds found on the road... He checks them out, works on some, throws away those he doesn't need and keep some others in his pocket, to be used down the road. When he wants to rest, those sounds keep doing things among each others and for him, they then become the material for dreaming. It is to say that when he wakes up, he feels that things have changed deep inside him, and trains, cats, insects, open windows, cars, distant talkings, silence, wind, water, fire, etc..., everything get revealed to his eyes with a new angle. Analogy opens then new doors he can use to keep going on his trip. To summarize in a more developed form: trains cross each7 inch other at different speeds, cats ears with their superior movement capacities, fans, air views, a sudden but inspired coughing or talking heard through an open window, screech of tires and explosion of horns, the crackling noise of the rain on leaves, people meetings, books, the others music and the decorative music (in stations halls, in shopping malls, in TV games), the cinema, heart beats and breathing rythms, shewing noises and noises from digestion, souvenirs and nostalgy, belief in transmutation, all those things represent the conscious and inconscious material of musical experimentations performed by Guinea Pig.
