This is an excerpt from a recording made at the Halle Saint-Pierre in Paris, on July the 21st 2008. The idea was to play a jazz song ('It Don't Mean A Thing', chosen because our piece sure 'ain't got that swing') in the most pointillistic way possible with the atmosphere of the room as a guest (or host ?). The Halle Saint-Pierre is a museum for outsider art, and it can be quite noisy (you can checkJez Riley French's In Place blog for a description of the place: http://jezrileyfrench-inplace.blogspot.com/2008/08/favourite-place-halle-saint-pierre-by.html)

At some point, some people walked to the waiter just behind us and had this exchange which is clearly audible in the recording:

'fermé ! On arrive trop tard'
'ça fait dix and que tu viens boire des cafés gratuits ici et tu ne sais pas qu'on ferme à 18h?'

which could translate into:

- Closed ! We're too late
- You've been coming here for ten years to drink coffees on the house, and you still don't know we close at 6 ?'
