Tac
The audio work that i investigate has nothing to do with music, and is not concerned with any musical philosophy - i am only concerned with the organization of sound as a way of applying the communication between myself and the aural world around me -

cédric peyronnet ~ toy.bizarre
In june 1985, I decided to work under the name of toy.bizarre, while my best friend and I were recording crickets singing in a pit along a small countryside road, in the sunset. His father's old tape recorder was in fact so bad that we were just able to hear a small frequency part of the hypnotic insects rhythm between the clouds of hiss. Back at home, I decided to go on recording, put on tape, every little sound of my environment, of the sonic world I was surrounded by. I still do it.

My actual work is focused on "places", its characteristics and its sound components. so the goal of all my sound compositions is to explore a place : it could be a chain of mountains, a square meter of grass, a beach, a marshalling yard, an hydroelectric powerstation. Each time the process is the same : recording all the typical sounds of the place (well, for me), then to compose sound pieces only with these sounds, through a sound sculpture process.

So we can say that each one of these pieces is the sonic reflection of the place...
