Raquel Pinheiro & Greg Chapman on Peter Wullen’s A SΓ©ance Of The Table – The Phenomenological Wasteland (French)

I read a metaphysics/philosophy text in French β€” an excerpt from Jacques Derrida’s Spectres de Marx β€” for Peter Wullen’s A SΓ©ance Of The Table – The Phenomenological Wasteland (French), with sustained notes by Greg Chapman.

You can listen to it and get an MP3 on SoundCloud, or if you prefer a WAV or FLAC file, you can find it on Peter’s Audius page: Audius link.

Concept, idea & conoction by Peter Wullen

“Elle devient quelqu’un, elle prend figure. Cette densitΓ© ligneuse et tΓͺtue se mΓ©tamorphose en chose surnaturelle, en chose sensible insensible, sensible mais insensible, sensiblement suprasensible.”

“Mais cette transcendance n’est pas toute spirituelle, elle garde ce corps sans corps dont nous avons reconnu qu’il faisait la diffΓ©rence du spectre Γ  l’esprit. Ce qui passe les sens passe encore devant nous dans la silhouette du corps sensible qui pourtant lui manque ou nous reste inaccessible. Marx ne dit pas sensible et insensible, sensible mais insensible, il dit : sensible insensible, sensiblement suprasensible. La transcendance, le mouvement en supra, le pas au-delΓ .”

Raquel Pinheiro’s Europa w/ saxophone was played on Toneshift/TJ Norris November radio show at Radio Camp Free

My Europa w/ saxophone was played on Toneshift/TJ Norris’ November show on radio Camp Free.Toneshift’s November 2025 show is available at: mixcloud.com/camp_fr/toneshift-24th-november-2025 and https://www.tjnorrisart.com/toneshift

Europa is one of the largest moons of Jupiter. It’s part a large electro-acoustic piece I’m working on. It exists with, and without saxophone.

When Francisco Silva heard his bluesy guitar in it, he was surprised at the contrast between it and the colder background – the saxophone version came later. The bluesy guitar represents the cooperish “veins” that can be seen in the image.
