Note : in Hélène A., the coda is made after parts of The X-Format (Standard Deviation) - Steve Coleman, Le Puits - Marc Ducret, Blinks - Steve Lacy, Arc - Patrick Zimmerli, Hélène A. - Stéphane Payen. A melodic line of Part 1, 2 and 3 is extracted from Guillaume Orti's solo on Difract - Hubert Dupont, recorded on "Kartet - Hask".
Note 2 : Edgar - Guillaume Orti was inspired by Uhren - Steve Coleman courtesy of Steve Coleman.

In november 1998, by invitation from the Finnish association "Vapaat Aänet" (free voices and sounds) of Charles Gil, Kartet leaves to examine the polar circle in one of the most northern countries in Europe. A total diversion, magnificent countryside, a fascinating language, music linking through ; a tour measured out in Finland, where earth and water interchange and form a labyrinthine territory. Ten concerts along the lakes entering into winter, two captivating weeks with those characters of the Finnish imagination : water, trees, the sky.
It's only natural that Kartet returned for 3 weeks in september of 1999, this time to teach, rehearse and record a part of the album that takes the name of the city it's attached to : Jyväskylä.
The work commisioned to Marc Ducret, Stéphane Payen and Patrick Zimmerli, recorded by Voncent Mahey for the 10th anniversary of the orchestra, comes to mark a willingness to invite exterior musical insularities : new forms, new fields of play.
