Listen "Happy Times"
Episode Synopsis
A space. A place. Where I’m working or where I’m sleeping? What difference does it make when I have to wait to go from one to the other. I spent my studies waiting for that, for what? Mouses are clicking, keyboards are tapping, computers whirr... Who is actually working? Us, a couple of people or a ton of machines? I take a document from one to distribute it to another while my shoes and my outfit is strangling me. A door is opening and closing tirelessly, the background sound is always the same. Finally I can go. It’s raining. I didn’t notice it. The windows are too disturbing. Walk to the bus, number 7.5. Inside is a bunch of children, rain is enchanting them with their little rain coats. Rest now. The little ones are almost screaming but it’s okay, I was one of them. Wasn't I? Or was I always the teacher? little minds growing around colorful cubes and sleepy hours. I can’t even remember this time, was I screaming “mine! mine!” or was I the little one waiting peacefully, or crying, all day to go back to my mom?References:Talia Stevenson, Backyard Barbecue, 2021,sound piece Sound Art - Talia StevensonThe vaporwave mouvement in music in generalAbraham Moles, Psychologie du kitsch, 1972, livreDominique Rolin, l’enfant roi, 1986Françoise Dolto, écris sur l’enfance et son rapport à la psychanalyseLisa Yuskavage, pratique généraleTodd Haynes, Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story, 1987, long métrageNicolas Buffe, Peau de licorne, 2011, CRAFT de LimogesSounds:Children at school, recorded by LénaClicking and bus sounds, recorded by EmmaOther sounds come from BBC library BBC Sound EffectsCover by Juliaby Lena, Emma, Morgane and Julia Hosted on Acast.
