Some of these texts attempt to tell the story of music. Others don’t even try—they prefer to let fragments of time resurface, still alive within me, even if the passing years have surely reshaped them. Fragments of my childhood and early adolescence in Beirut, fragments of the following years in Paris or elsewhere.
This is how Joseph Ghosn introduces the sixty-four texts gathered here—a fascinating musical journey that begins with Mohammed Abdel Wahab and ends with Farid El Atrache, passing through Alice and John Coltrane, Scott Walker, Brian Eno, Ryuichi Sakamoto, The Smiths, Slowdive, Spiritualized, Autechre, Boards of Canada, Labradford, Hiroshi Yoshimura, Lucy Railton, or Emahoy Tsegué-Mariam Guèbru…
A dreamlike compilation, sensitive and melancholic, that speaks of music, of the way it flows through our lives, but also—through it—of war, exile, love, memory, solitude, and the passing of time…
Joseph Ghosn’s texts are accompanied by 24 works by Camille Rousseau, taken from a charcoal and carbon paper series entitled Watch The Music, itself inspired by various musical pieces.
The book is published in a limited edition of 250 copies, each hand-numbered.
114 pages, printed on textured, uncoated Rembrandt paper.
