This piece was created by Carl Stone at INA/GRM during an artist residency, sept 2012.
American composer born in 1953. Based in California and Japan, Carl Stone is composing electro-acoustic music since the 70s.

Just finished six days of work at the studios of the GRM in Paris, composing a new piece for the project « Et pendant ce temps là, à FUKUSHIMA … » (« Meanwhile, in Fukushima… »), directed by Dominique Balaÿ. My piece uses sounds recorded in the area around where the nuclear catastrophe is ongoing in Japan, as well as many sounds I recorded at anti-nuclear demonstrations in Tokyo. Still searching for a title. Many thanks to Dominique, to all the fine people at GRM, and all my friends in Paris for making this a wonderful stay for me!
