"boudart si deve essere dicertito, se vi piace l'area di confine tra musica e nonmusica forse gradirete anche voi."
"une belle oeuvre de musique électronique qui dépeint des "paysages" nouveaux, qui conte des drames singuliers, des poèmes organiques et des scènes brillantes"
“An absolutely absorbing effort that excels at both synthetic and organic ideas”
“una scena zeppa di suoni e rumori che celebra la superbia, l'inquietudine, la presunzione.”
“This is an intriguing reminder of the power of sound to shift and transform the world around it.”
“una tavolozza di suoni così dettagliata da riuscire a coinvolgere n da subito con una narrazione avvincente.”
“une séance de défrichage à quelques années lumières d’ici.”
“I urge you to look for yourself: it definitely is! Meanwhile, Julien Boudart will find us new ancient and modern stories ...”
“une symbiose entre un compositeur fureteur et une machine”
