An audience appears in a dark space. They seem to sleep or dream. An orchestra plays together around a strange artificial head. The music brings us in an ancient land as if we were in a fairy tale or a forgotten history. A church, a ruined castle, a forest by night, every place having its own music.

Inspired from the piece Lieux perdus Pedro Garcia Velasquez, a composition for 4 singers, chamber orchestra, electronics and binaural sound, Dans l’arbre de mes veines is a variation on the theme of lost places. An immersion into a dark fluid of sounds and images that flow into the tree of our veins, cradling us like a sweet poison.
