I transposed the sound material found in sports from the stadium to the studio. I balanced the noises produced during the performance of the national anthems before an international match. The bands that play the anthems have to use three or four times as many musicians so that the tune and tempo are heard by the 40 000 spectators that are singing along. I turned the often ridiculed cyclist into a dignified ìcyclettistî reflecting on the melodies and beats emitted by his bike, and on the improvements, the evolutionary changes that would allow him to expand the range of his instrument. I applied the Doppler effect to racing cars: I recorded the cars going by at full speed in a straight line, at reduced speed going into or coming out of a bend; I achieved minor and major thirds, fourths, and diminished descending fifths.
