In April 2020, Yanik Miossec et Jérôme Noetinger invited 20 artists, among the twenty countries most affected by the SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus in terms of number of contaminations as of March 31, 2020, to participate in an interpretation of Alvin Lucier's composition, I'm sitting in a room.
The principle is simple. It is described in the text itself.
I'm sitting in a room different from the one you are in now because of confinement.
I'm recording the sound of my speaking voice which will then be played in other rooms again and again until all its characteristics, except perhaps the rhythm, are destroyed.
What you will then hear will be the natural resonant frequencies of this transfer through different rooms, modulated by speech.
For Alvin Lucier, this activity should be considered not so much as a demonstration of a physical fact, but more as a way to smooth out any irregularities in speech.
For us, it's a means of contaminating speech without risking Covid-19.
Everyone will have to translate this text into their language of confinement.
Everyone will have to read and record this text once in their confined living space.
Everyone will progressively receive a sound file with the recorded playback of another participant and will have to play and record it.

The real title of this album is "Carl Stone songs you can cry to." Sonali will make you dance, I guess, but then you'll start crying again after that. Paul Klee
