This note is part of an assemblage of which the main part is musical. If, as Nietzsche (2003: 6) puts it, music doesnt need any extra-musical material to acquire meaning, this text aims nevertheless to enunciate the philosophical approach underlining the piece Le dsir est un exil, le dsir est un dsert..., and to offer few reflective elements not to explain, to define, but to go-with, to extend the piece and the meaning it opens.
