C’est le son que vous obtenez en caressant une orchidée

C’est le son que vous obtenez en caressant une orchidée (the sound you get when you stroke an orchid) is a four-minute piece by äbädä, the duo of Eda Er and Simon Sieger. Eda Er made the electronics and the visuals; Simon Sieger plays tuba. It is the fourth track of Entre Deux Rivages, the duo’s first record, released by nyxphere on 1 January 2021, and the video followed in May.

The record was written in 2020 across a closed border. The two musicians were in different countries, so each piece went out as a letter and came back shaped by the other’s playing. Because the parts were made apart, neither player plays over the other. With I am so lost in Blue, this piece carries the tenderness of the album. Mixed and mastered by Laçin Şahin.
