A major work in François Bayle's repertoire, Jeîta ou murmuredes eaux provides a journey and an immersion into a world ofunleashed energies, with the Jeîta cave serving both as abackdrop and a particle accelerator. Here, the cave indeed standsfor the concrete source of the composer's inspiration as much asthe mind space where metamorphoses occur. By combining suchfigurative spaces and immaterial sound projections, François Bayleevokes another subject, an inhabitant of the multiple and symboliccave: the listening subject, who always reveals himself, implicitly, atthe heart of François Bayle's musical concerns and the path he hasalways defended: the acousmatic approach.-François J. Bonnet, Paris, 2025
