Notice

Original description
This is a sort of slide show of rough-grained sound objects, often abruptly linked together, and based on heterogeneous objects and instruments, notably an African sanza.

Commentary
In addition to the sanza and a toy music mill, there are some sounds developed for Prélude, and polyrhythms of manipulated frogs. A lot of filtering gives the continuous background sounds a blurred quality that contrasts sharply with the incisive brilliance of the rhythmic percussion.
