Whatever happens to me during weekdays, on Saturday and Sunday morning I can’t help it: my inner self regresses to a 5 year old boy mental state. It’s my defence mechanism that pulls me back through time without my consent. It’s a shower of heartfelt nostalgia that makes me look foolish; it’s the wild animal-child in me that grabs my ego and smashes it to pieces like a fist in a bowl of ripe strawberries, spilling sweet red syrup instead of bitter blood. A couple of hours I’m the chief of a train station in the cardboard mountains with green onion forests, peering solitarily through myopic eyes towards wooden trains filled with rushed plasticine passengers. The evening goes on with the Saturday bath, a festive occasion of simulating historical underwater battles with my hands morphed into submarines, facing the fast attack of a rubber duck convoy. Sunday ends with the adventures of a couple of sad porcelain cats escaped from home and lost in the immense field underneath my grandparents’ table. Monday morning, the alarm clock brutally shatters the spell – but the clock wants all the best for you, he’s your ally: he wants me to tell you, through sounds, all these stories that happened in the weekend.

File under: Electroacoustic composition, Narrative soundscape, Half-remembered childhoods. A fantastic companion piece to Swimé.

Orice se întâmplă cu mine toată săptămâna, sâmbătă și duminică dimineață nu mă pot opune: regresez în interior la starea mentală de când aveam 5 ani. E mecanismul de apărare care mă mută prin timp fără să-mi ceară acordul. E dușul de nostalgie sinceră care mă face să mă fac de râs. E copilul animal-liber de pădure din mine care îmi apucă ego-ul și-l zdrobește ca pe o farfurie de căpșune coapte, de curge sirop roșu și dulce, nu sânge. Câteva ore sunt șef de gară în halta din munții de carton și pădurile de ceapă verde, urmărind solitar prin ochi miopi trenurile de lemn care plimbă pasageri grăbiți din plastilină. Continui seara, când baia de sâmbătă e prilej festiv de a simula bătălii istorice pe sub apă cu ambele mâini transformate în submarine și atacul fulger al unui convoi din rățuște de cauciuc. Închei duminică cu aventurile unor pisici triste de porțelan, fugite de acasă și rătăcite în imensa câmpie de sub masa bunicilor. Luni dimineață, ceasul deșteptător risipește brutal toată vraja – dar el îți vrea binele, e aliatul tău: vrea să-ți povestesc prin sunete toate întâmplările din weekend!

Album Reviews

A ieşit Scame, noul/proaspătul/aburindul material Makunouchi Bento. La fel de “povestitori prin sunet”, dar tura asta mai veseli şi luminoşi. Read more...

Once again, the mixture giving Makunouchi Bento worked well! All these sounds plunged into a forest of bazaar, all these textures that fill my head, all that allowed me, the space of 20 minutes, to drive my own electric train in the magical mountain of your delusions chaotic... The most difficult was to return to my desk chair, and yet I love it so much... Bravo, it sounds and most importantly, it resonates. Thank you.
