How does one inhabit one’s own work — how to convey it, domesticate it and live with it? Félicia Atkinson’s Ni envers ni endroit que cette roche brûlante (Pour Georgia O’Keeffe) is approached as a meditation, not as meditative music, but as a reflection on the art of creation.

Drawing inspiration from the painter Georgia O’ Keeffe, Félicia Atkinson has composed a piece that evokes and celebrates, in a poetic and holistic way, the mystery of art and act of creating. Blending fragmentary voices, islands of piano, electronic textures and patterns, and field recordings, Félicia Atkinson’s music is sincere and inspired, a meditation, then, but also a lesson we sometimes forget: being an artist is not an activity, it’s a singular way of approaching the world and, in so doing, densifying it.
