Recently I’ve done a lot of listening to Lionel Marchetti and Seijiro Murayama’s beautiful and terrifying album Hatali Atseli (L’Echange des Yeux). It makes me feel the same kind of nervousness I get when capturing a particularly scary looking spider in a glass so I can let it outside. Admiring that delicate insect exoskeleton reminds you that they were here first, and they’ll be here long after we’re gone.
Marchetti has a YouTube account with bunches of videos about his obsession with UFOs, or maybe his obsession with how the idea of UFOs generates obsession. Some highlights:
I was just video recording from my plane, in my dream, near Mont Pilat, in Lyon – France, in jannuary 2008. Suddenly, a strange light was under the clouds, with an incredible sound : with my DAT i recorded this… it’s now possible to listen this…
Lionel Marchetti : is it UFO sounds ?
Help me !
I met a very strange double-face E.T., in my dream, and i recorded our stange electronic contact…

Do they know they’ve spelled “yeux” wrong?

I think the record label made a typo. Fixed here.
