It can be used for the wings flapping of a butterfly or a bird, the patter of rain at the window, or it can also be heartbeats. I wanted to express the series of shocks you’re receiving when in relation to others, the heartbeats trying to accommodate each other with difficulties; how you can be consumed in that if you don’t set boundaries but also the beauty that sometimes presents itself from being burned in a relationship. Layers of synthesizers and infinite delays accumulate until they overflow at the end, creating an array of raw emotions, evoking the braziers of a burning forest; it’s like when you burn yourself by wanting to melt with another person.It also evokes a difficulty to accommodate to the world and other people, trying to cast in the mold, knowing that it gives you pain; from the beginning there is sadness and rage about being stuck. Musically, the cello acts freely at first, surrounded by layers of drums complimenting each other; it’s always improvised and when performed live we’ll never do it the same way, it’s unpredictable, like our emotions. For this “battement” we wanted the cello to coalesce around the bass frequencies, whilst changing the range all the time throughout; never in the same register, imitating, with a classical music instrument, common patterns of synths movements : sometimes you don’t recognize the cello at all. The aerial rings synths are made with my modular synthesizer that I played to make some “errors”. This exact sound is the result of improvisation, never the same in live. Paolo had to be really precise in the cello playing at the end with the fast tempo towards the end (150 BPM). We wanted him to meet the arpeggiation of synths exactly in terms of rhythms; we almost abandoned this idea at one point because it was too fast and needed it to be reproducible many times, but in the end we did it. That track is also evoking a lot of the way we work together with Paolo as my cellist for 6 years. We want to experiment together with the cello sound, with new and sometimes difficult ideas when composing a track; sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t, and that’s a beautiful metaphor for a relationship. Alma Alta : What I love about Odalie’s music is that it achieves the balance between something so organic that it trigger symbolic images in my mind, and yet a form of abstraction that describe the emotions more subtly than any word could. When I listen to it, I always connect to something very deep and personal, and this track is no exception to that. The intense rhythm of the music sounded like a heartbeat to me, and reminded me of the feeling in my chest when going through intense moments of my life, both because of pure joy or the most nefarious sadness. The rhythm just kept accelerating and the cello was intimidating, creating an overwhelming impression, like a flooding of intense memories. I thought about relationships, about how fast your heart can go when you witness that you’re forming a new bound, fragile, pure and sincere. How fast it can beat also when you feel the connection breaking, a short suspended moment after which everything will be wilted. I wanted to evoque this impression of emotional saturation that I felt on this music : a vision of life as a frantic collection of flashbacks. A mixed feeling of being lucky, eager to live as intense moments as possible while in this existence, and a sensation of weariness to the idea that every connection that you build will sooner or later fade, like sandcastles in the wind. An exhausted renunciation and a profound gratitude all tangled in a frenetic rhythm. I worked with various film assets, and used different plugins on After Effect in the purpose of voluntarily altering the render. I wanted the film to be imperfect and noisy, like a moving old photograph, to evoque memories. I spent a lot of time playing with the number of frames per second, to match the frenzied beat of the music, accelerating or stopping on a frame if necessary for the emotional intensity. A lot of work of editing and reframing has been necessary to choose which parts of the film sources would represent the idea of a specific moment of life, but always without any context. Combined with the graphical render, it allowed me to anonymise the characters and give this video a more universal scope. I wanted viewers to be able to recognize themself in some of the situations presented and reflect about their own memories.
