Félicia Atkinson – Promenades [CS]

"Promenades is a sound meditation recorded with a Nord Keyboard during winter while thinking of Spring.

Each song has a colour and the single is called Green, as in chlorophyll. A melody is modified by the light. Did you ever experimented synesthesia?

'Promenades' means 'walking around' in French. Will you walk around with those songs in your ears? What will you see?
While playing synths in the studio, my fingers wandered over the keyboards as I watched the movement of the hands and the air through the window.

Wind in the trees. Hours dripping. A secret poem. I imagine listeners walking in places I don't know.

Each song has a colour, and while I'm playing, I'm following an invisible river. There are no words in synesthesia.

Soon, I’ll be carrying those colours to the other side of the world. They'll appear, burst and fade like clouds, tears, rainbows and memories."
