A major work in François Bayle's repertoire, Jeîta ou murmure

des eaux provides a journey and an immersion into a world of

unleashed energies, with the Jeîta cave serving both as a

backdrop and a particle accelerator. Here, the cave indeed stands

for the concrete source of the composer's inspiration as much as

the mind space where metamorphoses occur. By combining such

figurative spaces and immaterial sound projections, François Bayle

evokes another subject, an inhabitant of the multiple and symbolic

cave: the listening subject, who always reveals himself, implicitly, at

the heart of François Bayle's musical concerns and the path he has

always defended: the acousmatic approach.
