Ton Dieu ne s’appelle-t-il pas ego? is subtitled “drama en huit mouvements et ½.”

1) Prélude: Bird calls over a drone. More and more electronic sounds as it progresses. Last three seconds sudden crescendo of a buzzy repeated figure, leading without break into
2) La peur de l’autre (le méchant): a busy (not buzzy) business of electronics and voice
3) Sostenuto: replacing the voices with keyboard chordal motif, which
4) Vas-y tout seul!: morphs into strange “choir” of ostinatos, then
5) C’est l’époque qui veut ça…: dirty, gritty circuitry sounds, still, oddly, with the sense of moving forward that the ostinatos had given… The grit thins out (sounds are progressively subtracted from the mélange) and then
6) Lamento: and then a great low tone and dark, non-gritty ostinato take over, and
7) Pulsions grégaires (le retour): we return to the sound world of the second movement, but noisier
Finale: leading to the finale (grand, of course) of buzzing and juddering and grit, all very busy, gradually replaced by the bird calls of the prélude (the ½ mouvement), and this really quite extraordinarily entertaining piece is, sadly, already over.
