Like other pieces of the "Catalogue d'oiseaux", "La Bouscarle" (piece IX) is characteristic of one of the composer's main sources of inspiration : bird songs. The film deals with the personality and the esthetics of Olivier Messiaen, and inspires us to meditate on man and creation. "Music is a never-ending dialogue between space and time, between sound and color, dialogue which climaxes in a unification : time is a space, sound is a color, space is a compound of superimposed time, the compounds of sound exist simultaneously like the compounds of color. The musician who thinks, sees, hears, speaks using these fundamental ideas can, to a certain extent, approach the beyond." Olivier Messiaen
