Gotlander is a creation carried out by Eric Pajot alone, who, in the RadioMentale duo, composes a high proportion of the sounds and electronic melodies. The vocal and field recordings ensemble was recorded during his trip on the Gotland Swedish Island, on the occasion of the shooting of the film Are You There (Grégory Abou, 2010) for which he produced the music and the sound design. We can hear the artist pacing the deserted and snowy landscapes which create the charm and the mystery of this archipelago in the Baltic Sea, on which hovers the memory of two filmmakers, Andreï Tarkovski (who shot The Sacrifice there, his last production) and Ingmar Bergman (who lived on the Fårö Island).
