The Chant 04:06
lyrics

I wouldn't mind a word and perhaps a smile It's been a while, my love Even a tear would shine like gold Anything is better than staying in the cold I wouldn't mind a slight, accidental touch Would it hurt so much, my love? Beautiful one I know there's fire Deep down beneath the ashes of our desire

You throw your arms around my neck before I'm gone or when I'm back And every day and every night you are there to hold me tight You hold me You hold on me so tight Come, baby, come and hold me tight In your arms I'm quite alright but in my head there is a bug - Is there life beyond your hug? You hold me You grip on me so tight

about

Maison des rendez-vous features music from Betontanc's same titled 2002 performance.

The latter took place in a macabre room that appeared to have a life of its own. Constantly swinging like a giant seesaw, the hostile room deprived the actors/performers of what we all take for granted: the firm ground beneath our feet. The remarkable stage provided the perfect setting for the exceptional mastery of the Betontanc dance company; a setting in which one is forced to bend and occasionally break the law of gravity in order to survive. The performance was inspired by the work of Harold Pinter.

In order to capture the play's claustrophobic, unhinged feel, Silence used a wide array of radically down-pitched synthesizer bells. Maison is the duet's first self-produced album. The record was written and programmed in Silence's private studio, The Daily Girl. All acoustic elements (vocals and strings) were recorded by Peter Penko at Raingarden 9. While undoubtedly dark, the score is primarily defined by its unbounded experimentalism and zany humour.
