"I am very happy to share with you this film and this music, as a tribute to the creations of a young artist in haute couture, William Kerney, 'present on Facebook), who is only 18 years old and student in term year of my the high school where I teach. I composed the music and the film was built from various sources : movies and photos shot by me and members of the team who worked on this project. Photographers, assistants, hairdressers, cosmeticians, models are all students at Lycée Edouard Herriot of lyon, France.

William Kerney conceived himself all the gowns and hats, from the basis skteches to the final production, including the sewing of every clothe and worked one year on this project.

The film begins with the collections he created during the first semester of 2013, and goes on with the fashion parade he presented around his theme of masculinity and feminity, at Lycée Edouard in may 2013, during the Week of Performing Arts of this high school. It is followed, after the end credits by a bonus consisting of two interviews in french. The first one with William Kerney and his assistant Tristan Fiancette, the second one with me as a teacher of philosophy at Lycée Edouard Herriot, teacher in charge of Culture Life in this high school composer of this music, editor of this film and author of some of the images it contains, just after the fashion parade.

All sounds on Virus TI were created by me. Sounds of other real or virtual instruments are patches of these instruments : mainly Roland Phantom XR - orchestra and voices and piano expanding cards of the SRX series : SRX-02 : "Concert Piano" and SRX-O6, "Complete Orchestra" and SRX - and also feminine choirs from Voices of Passion by Eastwest. At the end of the composition he created a special sound on Alchemy by Camel Audio and played it myself (see below) during the final part of the composition : it is not a sequence nor an automatic pulsation.

At a certain time (see below), I also used fragments of Vivaldi, Monteverdi and Hildegard von Bingen, piled up, cut in tiny elements mixed together, and transformed by the Grm Tools, associated to various parts of sounds I created on the Virus TI. This way they can't be recognized and produce the substance of a brand new lyrical electro acoustic music.
I also quoted three very short fragments of famous operas by Wagner, Puccini and Ponchielli, and also a tiny phrase from a music by the british composer John Tavener. You will also hear some natural sounds : birds, thunder, metal sticks and various metal elements I recorded.
