About the Artist:
Born French but living in Belgium, Vincent Duseigne is an industrial archeologist especially involved with underground mines / Working for 30 years in these huge abandoned places, he noticed that the sounds are often strange and challenging / In this way he began field recording / In the late 80’s, he was using a three kilogram tape recorder / Since then, his field recordings have become a daily routine / It’s a manner to speak about uncommon things, nowadays no one really takes the time to listen to the world / A special project was for example to record a 777 km long river in France, swimming from spring to estuary //
