"City is a book. The idea was to read some pages of it aloud, in a theatre full of people, with musical accompaniment throughout. We did this in Rome, in November of 2002. It went well. The audience applauded, and we enjoyed ourselves. So the idea became: to make a record in wich a voice is reading, surrounded by music. We recorded the record in Paris, a month later. We enjoyed ourselves. Now the idea is to make a video game. But we're not really sure about that." AB and AIR
The texts of the record are taken from the novel "City" by Alessandro Baricco.
