As its name suggests more or less directly, this album is a set of sound anecdotes of variable geometry, a series of anecdotes agglutinated together to form stories that are probably plausible.
An anecdote of thirty seconds or an anecdote of two minutes, it must find its place in the timeless framework of the history (I say timeless because metric and metronomic rigour has no place here), and give to hear a kind of coherence in the soundtrack.

These anecdotes are forged with percussion sounds and noises of a dislocated piano (yes, noises, because the condition of the degraded instrument no longer allows the restitution of harmonious sounds; it doesn't bother me, I like noises).
There are also electronic anecdotes sprinkled with improbable voices, and anecdotes that are wet by their nature (field recordings).

The most delicate thing, and this is where the glue comes in, was to transform this accumulation of heterogeneous sounds into a graceful polyhedron cut into six substantial anecdotes.

But let's forget this anecdotal text and focus instead on the music of these sounds, preferably with good quality headphones.
