This « carnet de voyage sonore », sonic diary in english, is more than a documentary outcome of my numerous travels in Asia.

It’s a heartfelt project produced by my trips who always merge personal events, encounters, desire to discover asian countries with artistic endeavours, i-e concerts, recordings.
The countries recorded here are : China, Malaysia, and Taiwan.The biggest part of the sounds are from Chengdu, China in 3 of the 4 tracks.They are recorded in temples in town , and on famous mountains around the city, with nature wildlife, insects – and also buddhist and taoist temples.
The sounds recorded in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, are from a huge rock mountain with excavation inside where hinduist indian people pray : Batucave.
Sound from Taiwan is recorded in Chiayi region.

The field recording are for me a base, to compose with electronic tools, as I am a « musique concrète » composer, or electroacoustic composer.I used a tool that is very fascinating for me : granular synthesis.Other sources includes bass clarinet and percussion.

Thank you Sun Wei fellow musician from Chengdu, China without whom this album wouldn’t be possible.Taras Opanasiuk for his praise of my music and releasing Travelogue to Asia.
Hong Yi for the cover photo (from Henan, China)
