Seule le nuage m’illumine is a long and intimate reflection on the pace of ambient musiqu holds in my life. Through late-night online listening, what began as deeply personal moments slowly opened onto something larger: a community formed through distance, attention, care, and a quiet politic of fragility shaped by who is heard, and allowed to drift.
It weaves together memories of these private listening rituals with a broader theoretical inquiry into online listening as a possible refuge. Drawing on the idea of the technologies of the self, it asks how ambient sounds, plateforms and repetition can become tools for grounding, healing, and collective sensitivity outside of a fast capitalism.
