The Acoustic Cornet, an hommage to Leonora Carrington

7 track album, released February 14, 2026 as free digital download and in limited audio cassette edition. This album does not retell the story. It listens to it. Philippe Petit approaches Carrington’s text as one would approach a signal coming from another frequency. Fragments. Resonances. Distorted transmissions. The acoustic cornet becomes a metaphor for listening itself: an instrument that amplifies what society prefers to keep inaudible. Here, sound behaves like Carrington’s prose. Absurd, ominous, playful, cruel. A black farce. An initiation. An Alice in Wonderland whose mirror opens onto the occult. The music wanders through hidden corridors, riddles, vertiginous descents. It inhabits the space between lucidity and delirium, between laughter and menace. Nothing settles. Everything listens. The Acoustic Cornet is not a tribute cast in bronze. It is a continuation. An echo. An invitation to lean closer. To hear what was always there. And to accept that once you listen this way, there is no going back. The amazing cover artwork created for this album could not have been by anyone else but Iglika Kodjakova [mhrk480]
