Glass creatures, blown one after the other from the silicates of the Earth's mantle, emerge as far as they can at its surface. They show their head outside – probably to smell the air. In any case, they need the presence of the visitors. Then they start to whisper. They need the contact of the visitors. Now they blush.
Those glass creatures, unmoving and silent, are patiently waiting for visitors' coming to come alive. They softly sway between the air and the ground. They elegantly ripple, amongst themselves, between them and the visitors. The sound spectrum and the light spectrum go through them. They vibrate and glow. They rustle and sparkle. They carry the noises and the lights from the depths of the Earth or those from the air and the heart of the clouds. In its own way, Le Peuple des ondes comes to visit the visitors to mix, according to waves, the glass with the flesh, the mineral with the organic, the lifeless with the living.
