“Vois Le Son”
par PHIL SPARKZ
S’il faut de la perspective pour disposer des images sur une musique, imaginez-vous qu’il en fasse tout autant pour créer une musique synchronisée à un assemblement d’images. Mon amie Ariane m’a approché pour contribuer à son court documentaire qui portait un regard sur un artiste graffiti et ami de longue date connu sous le nom de KOAL. Je dois admettre que je n’ai pas pus refuser. D’abord, parce-que j’aimais le défi que ça représentait, mais surtout parce-que KOAL m’a toujours apporté la plus grande aide en collaborant à maintes reprises à rendre possible mes idées les plus loufoques. Ayant notamment participé dans le développement du artwork de mon projet 45 tours, KOAL est un artiste très généreux à qui je devais bien ces quelques heures de travail.
