In August 2021, as part of a walking tour, Ivann Cruz proposes a musical improvisation on electric guitar inspired by his sensitive experience of hiking during the day: the tensions of physical effort, the emptiness and the reliefs, the textures of the soils, the flora, the colors of the panoramas, the silences and the rumors, and the place of the refuge.
These improvisations take place near or in the stage huts on an autonomous amplified device (amp and effects pedals) at the end of the day. By carrying his equipment on the paths between each refuge, accompanied by a guide, Ivann Cruz wishes to invent musical forms inspired by the spaces crossed. He thus shares the experience of the hiker and goes to meet him in unexpected places to offer him musical impromptus.
During the summer of 2022, he repeated the adventure with Peter Orins from August 14 to 24 in the Écrins massif, taking the opportunity to make recordings in the natural environment, notably at the Font Turbat refuge. The production of this recording will bear witness to this singular experience.
