about

Scaphandre (english below)

C’est l’histoire d’une image trouvée au hasard d’un temps perdu sur internet il y a quelques années.
Elle a inspiré deux pièces sonores conçues pour qu’on puisse y plonger comme dans la mer.

Une fois leur composition terminée j’ai cherché l’origine de cette image. Il s’agit du tout premier cliché sous-marin de l’histoire, pris par Louis Boutan en 1893 dans la baie de Banyuls-sur-Mer… mon village natal.

La photo originale ainsi qu’une fantastique série d’archives documentant cet événement se trouvent au Laboratoire Arago, où j’allais souvent enfant, après l’école, émerveillé par ce que les chercheurs me montraient. Ils ne m’avaient jamais raconté cette histoire.

Voilà comment ce disque a trouvé son décor.

Scaphandre' is the story of an image found in a lost time on the internet a few years ago. It inspired two sound pieces conceived so that one can dive into it as into the sea.
Once their composition was finished, I looked for the origin of this image. It is one of the very first submarine pictures in history, taken by Louis Boutan in 1893 in the bay of Banyuls-sur-Mer... my home town. The original photo as well as a fantastic series of archives documenting this event can be found at the Arago Laboratory, where I often went as a child, after school, amazed by what the researchers were showing me. They just had never told me this story.
This is how this record found its scenery. Gaspar Claus
