*300 copies limited edition* Words have never been my strongest point. I have many ideas in my head, often too many. I can talk a lot about them, but putting them on paper is not really me. I rather just work on my ideas. ‘cause whatever your thoughts are, as soon as it is out there and people start to listen it becomes theirs. What I might have thought up before, and have as concept behind the music, might not be how someone else listens to it. And that’s okay. If we keep in mind that my music …

Fabu and Teche extends HeghL’s “camera mista” into two impersonal, semi‑ghostly surfaces, where language and technique rebound, hybridise and thin out into fragile, flickering forms that are neither one thing nor another, yet stubbornly refuse to disappear.

Du Jeu Idéal turns HeghL’s philosophical play into sound, as Tekelerobutor (op.el) stages Luca Pedeferri’s piano against works by Lisa Baume and Francesco Trabattoni, treating Deleuze’s “game without rules” as a constantly mutating musical event.

Mise extends HeghL’s mythography of the “Outside” into an invented archive, staging the rediscovery of anonymous scores as an excuse for a radical piano‑led reconstruction of the imagined oeuvre and unfinished world of the elusive Andrea Firewell.

L’Entretien Infini finds HeghL translating a philosophico‑theatrical chain of voices into sound, as clarinet, violin, piano and double bass improvise around Maurice Blanchot’s “infinite conversation” and the elusive “Thought of the Outside.”
