Text: Françilon Daniels (1907-1960)
The texts are taken from Belgian Surrealist author, poet and literary historian Françilon Daniels’ posthumously published Journaux Intimes (Gallimard). According to the author they were created using a variant of the Surrealist paranoiac-critical method that she described as "écriture de sommeil": noting thoughts at the twilight between sleep and wakefulness. The handwritten texts were arranged unusually on the page, sometimes overlapping with one another.

It is not known whether they were intended to be calligrams – visual poems - or if this was the result of the author “transcribing” them in the dark. The performance is coordinated by synchronizing the performers with independent computer-controlled click-tracks. This allows for the exploration of several unusual modes of rhythmic organization and permits the precise synchronization of electronic processing of the performer’s sounds. Night Fragments was written for Caitlin Cassidy and Decibel.
