“Photographs of notebooks, manuscripts … My first notebook, a small one, with a black leather cover, was offered to me by my friend photographer Bruno Roche in 1988. I then opted for the registry type of notebook, large size (21/29,7cm, between 100 and 200 pages), and I started, little by little, a journal that lasted a little over a decade (1990/2002). Then the notebook gradually became a daily, morning, kind of workshop: poems, copies of poems and other quote, a notebook of dreams, drawings, glued photographs or postcards, musical scores in progress for my compositions of musique concrète, preliminary drafts, thoughts on music and other reflections, etc.

However, all these notebooks are already a second generation of handwritten pieces because, in general, I first write on paper or on white pages – in the margins – of books that I carry with me.

The texts were without exception written / copied outside, in bars, trains, hotels, airplanes, in this or that venue.

A path …

In February 2019, the notebook is numbered C 45.

The double pages of the notebooks presented here are taken from recent notebooks.”
