After a series of releases on attenuation circuit by his project Nouvelles Lectures Cosmopolites, Julien Ash now joins forces with another key figure of experimental French music: Christophe Petchanatz, better nown under his moniker Klimperei. Nine tracks with titles in French or English are connected by short flute sequences played by François Porte, with titles in Basque.

The flute, piano, and strings are also instruments that dominate the 'chamber music' sections of the album. This reminds the listener that the work of Christophe Petchanatz, in particular, has often been referred to as 'neoclassical'. Perhaps 'neo-impressionist' would be a more fitting description, but it is Satie rather than Debussy who comes to mind here. This is a spatial, 'ambient' music rather than one of linear development. The pace of the music is measured and calm, but tinged with melancholy – and with very Satie-like titles in which absurd humour borders on grotesque horrors: 'The houses look at me', 'Two men fall off a balcony', and the title track 'Sky of flies'. Under the beautiful surface of the music, something dark seems to lurk, which is brought to light by the more electric and electronic parts of the arrangements.
