« Cette fois la Comète se dirige vers le soleil originaire de la guitare, vers la première corde vibrant sur un vide savamment contenu. Remontant l’axe du bien: Ogoz, Andalousie, Turquie, Pakistan jusqu’à Bollywood. Avec lui, sur un Tapis d’Occident, Al porte le digital et la science des électrons, survolant des villes et des campagnes ; le réacteur gauche est la raison, le moteur droit, son intuition. Comet remplace le pétrole par de la lévitation et nous fait, encore et toujours, avancer: Dans le ciel, bras écartés, le Troisième Œil grand ouvert ! »
A collection of videos by Alain Favre and Al Comet. The project started in 1991 right after the world’s first website and server went live at CERN in Geneva, dec 20th, 1990. In other words: No digital video editing or the like but thousand of magic ways to switch visual realities.
La musique génère les images, le montage répond à l’évidence de la rythmique, l’imaginaire du créateur visuel donne un écho aux espaces sonores du musicien. Au travers de tous les procédés rendus possible par la technique, Alain (Favre) dialogue avec Alain (AI Comet).

« D’abord fermer les yeux pour oublier. Voilà, c’est simple. L’appréhension face à l’inconnu est légitime mais pas de panique : Al Comet (Cometo pour ceux des jungles urbaines) le pilote est un baroudeur de l’espace sonique.
Son nom est gravé sur les murs de toutes les galaxies qui ont adopté un jour le principe cher à George Clinton : ” Open Your Mind and Your Ass Will Follow “.
” White Planet ” : grand disque si loin de ces fausses harmonies qui jour après jour trahissent puis effacent le souvenir des pionniers. »
