“Le Souvenir Dans La Peau” talks about the participation of the Norman ports of Le Havre, Honfleur and Rouen in the slave trade and triangular trade and the attempts to revive and reveal, without exploiting it, this long-hidden memory.
'The ports of Le Havre, Honfleur and Rouen, and through them the whole of Normandy, actively participated in the slave trade and the triangular trade.

« The music of “Le Souvenir Dans La Peau” is centered around a main theme and its variations: the theme of slavery.
The tone of the music is generally somber with some glimmers of hope brought about by a secondary theme for abolition.
In particular, I used glass harmonica sounds with fragile and crystalline vibrations and emphasized the systematic nature of slavery with repetitive tribal rhythms. »
