I met French composer and founder of Musique Concrète, Pierre Henry, for the first time during a performance in Stavanger (Norway) in September 2006. Four years later, after numerous travels back and forth between Stavanger and Paris, my joint project with Henry was launched. The book, a seemingly endless flow of photos, moving room by room, from macro close-ups to overviews, is like a visit in the house, accompanied by a CD containing previously unreleased pieces by Pierre Henry: Capriccio, Phrases de Quatuor, Miroirs de Temps and Envol.
The book also includes a selection of texts by:
– Pierre Henry, Variations for a house, and some sighs
– François Weyergans, Pierre Henry, my friend
– Maurice Fleuret, Who is Pierre Henry?
– Yves Bigot, Pierre Henry seen by…
– Tommy Olsson, What’s within a building?
– Geir Egil Bergjord, Shooting from a distance
– Tor Åge Bringsværd, Geir Egil Bergjord – biography
– Isabelle Warnier, The house of sounds – A sketch of it's history and functioning
