Noctes Insomnes / nights without sleep

"Nights. Horrible moments or all closes itself, is closed again, or the man folds up himself like the animal in his den. To refuse, wish to continue, why this imposed stop? Why this punctuation? To take freedom to sleep apart from the context of the night, to live without schedules, freely. Freedom, it is of that that it acts. To refuse the imposed conventions, ancestral practices, the schedule. To create its own time, that which the things inspire, to place time at its disposal, to be unaware of the hour. To live during the night why not. The Night. the body is in a state second, very different. It that I want to make the most things, is this is the night a state of contradiction? a way of living differently? I like the night. It is silence, the stars are there, it is one moment favourable with the reflexion, with the concentration and, while everyone is under its cover or in front of the tele one, I want all to awake, all to shake. The night it is the black, the coffee to be maintained, loneliness. The telephone does not sound any more, all is released, insulation. Very quickly the brain is alone with itself it is one privileged moment. The anatomical board represents all that: insane (wise) which teaches with a beginner the influence of planets on the human body. Moment of conscience, the body is broken up. The old ones believed that Saturn or Jupiter following their position in the vault of heaven influenced the lungs and the chest. The moon the head and sun the stomach. That summarizes all that I have just said. The day is the moment of the meal, the existential things and the night the moment of the reflexion and the dream.

This disc was lived of night. I had unbearable periods of insomnia… terrible anguishes, concerns for health… my body refused to sleep. It is well afterwards that I included/understood what occurred. My body was put per hour of the disc, it was put in the state necessary to its realization. I looked at the sky being cleared up when I left my table of mixing, the night had passed in silence. It is afterwards, well after I chose this title. My state was very worrying, I have then write the words of "Noctes Insomnes" like a testimony of a lived state. That returned more work still terrifying: as the body was destroyed, the disc advanced…

The discussion thread of this disc was created of any part, in a very natural way, the title was essential by itself. The cranium, the teeth, the hair, it is the state of a body after one year of night life. There remain about it nothing any more alive; the body and the spirit separate in a kind of dissection. The disc transcribes all that. The order of the compositions has a great importance. It ' is a descent towards the state second, a slow and progressive descent. The first title evokes one twilight moment by the melodies and poses the subject: "it spent the almost whole nights without sleep…" then "Aglon" in a desire has just flown away as a corbel… then "Ab Irato" which means "in fit of anger…" "Rosa Signat" plunges itself in the melancholy and then comes the fall, the great dive "In Orbem" "in a circular motion, orbits" it of it is the descent without end, the plunging spiral inside oneself, the point of no return… is then connected the second part of disc black, dark, we are the different with dimensions one. "And that for them the light without end shines… Happy deaths which die in the door of the hell… " In "Beati Mortui" is connected "Loewe" with its voices which infinitely repeat "Cirvmdedervnt" "turning around me" then "Qvi Non Ceasing… clamare" "which does not cease shouting" it is the total moment of madness, the influence with the interior madness, this madness which is of each one among us, hidden, latent… and finally the disc finishes on the revolt "Exurge in Will go Killed" (picks up you in your anger) and the final, visible act in video in the CD-Rom, the act of madness and mystery, that which occurs the every day, the insane one 3-1195> harms of the body, at the bottom of the thought: the cave, the labyrinth, in which is a lost building, the exploration of this place, destruction of the place, the firing, the flames which invade the interior, anger which take its rise, fire in the major black, "Incendere" (the firing) and the day which rises outside in the world of reality, the fire of the sun which puts an end to the nightmare. I can finally sleep calms and quiet."
