about

« Dans les toutes premières minutes un certain désappointement à l’écoute de cette électro tranquille qu’accompagne une voix un peu trop suave. Et pourtant, quelque chose pousse à continuer, à aller plus loin : une tonalité, une ambiance particulière. Petit à petit la musique se complexifie, s’articule parfaitement avec le flux des mots et le timbre de Frédérique Bruyas. Les textes lus par cette dernière sont tirés du roman La conversation entre hommes d’Huguette Légaré. Ecriture des plus singulières faite de lieux communs et de fulgurances, rythme étrange constitué de répétitions, de décalages, d’allitérations, le tout formant des instants de pure poésie. La composition de Pierre Juillard est comme une trame, un paysage gelé que la voix de Frédérique Bruyas traverse tel un souffle chaud. »

Yann Leblanc in Revue et corrigée n°96

"(...) Normally I would say something along the lines of 'spoken word releases with music is not something I like' but here I was thinking that it actually works well. Maybe because I don't understand it that well, I guess? That might be so, but also because music and voice blend together really well. Bruyas doesn't use much intonation or acting, but more or less speaks rather poetically, and Juillard's music is a fine combination of processed sounds from the computer and even what sounds like a rhythm machine at the start of 'L'Hiver Orange'. His music has a like-wise dream-like quality to it. I am not sure, of course, if this music is in any way related to the recited text, but I must say I don't care actually. I think I can enjoy this very much on just hearing what it is. (...) Perhaps not all to be heard in a row, (...) but a very refined work indeed."

Frans de Waard in Vital Weekly number 863.
