Vent Rouge by Alexandre Baldrei

MDR – What would be your greatest misfortune?

AB- To live for something smaller than me.

MDR- And your greatest happiness?

AB—-greatest happiness:

To annihilate the spirit of security for the spirit of adventure.

MDR — and your adventure today?

“Red Wind”…

AB —- the spirit of adventure is to break redundancy, for forms as for behaviors.

MDR- What you appreciate the most in yours friends?

AB- Their power of wandering…

AB —- their wandering power… that power that says the life within them refuses to be locked up.

MDR – Liberty darling? … at what price?

AB—You have to be able to play your skin to preserve your wandering power.

MDR – the military fact that you appreciate the most?

AB- Their béchamel

MDR- The military fact has a current resonance now-days.

MDR—- Their béchamel ? 

AB- I wouldn’t know what else to say….

“History is always suspect because it is always the story of the victors”.

Walter Benjamin.

AB- in a war yes, the question is to know the history that we retain at the expense of all the stories..

4-your favorite composers?

AB- Those who find

under the music the sound.

MDR — Are you thinking about?

AB – John Cage, Morton Feldman, Ellen Fullman, Phil Niblock, Rioji Ikeda.

MDR- what would you like to be above all?

AB- The rhythm of a

air flow.

MDR —- A repetitive rhythm or?

The ticking of time passing. The death ?

or eternity…

AB — the tic tac is obviously death

The rhythm of a desert is more interesting.
