a pact between strangers
2008

(française version)
2056. Le type est là. Avec ses yeux de futur robot. Il en a déjà le cerveau. Il se tient derrière la table. Prêt à recueillir le flux. 2056. Quel âge ? Pas loin de 100, il me semble. "L'horloge tourne, fiston". Pas de sourire, le type n'a pas relevé. Un robot. Il dit juste "et si nous allions directement au début...C'était quoi exactement le Contrast podcast ?
Disons, un pacte entre personnes qui, au départ, ne se connaissaient pas et avaient décidé, tous les mardis, de se réunir autour d'un thème, chacun apportant une chanson l'illustrant.
Est ce que vous vous souvenez du début ?
J'ai reçu un autre mail. Encore. C'était il y a trois ans.
50 plutôt non ?
50. Ouais, c'est ça. 50. L'horloge tourne."
Je hoche la tête.

(englikhtonian version)
2056. The guy sits there. With his future robot's eyes. He has the brain yet. He stands behind the table. Ready to collect the flow. 2056. How old? Not far from 100, I think. "The clock is running, son." No smile, the guy ignored it. Robot. He just says "well, what if we went directly at the beginning ... what was the Contrast Podcast, could you precise ?
t'was, let's say, an alliance between persons who initially did not know each other and had decided on every Tuesday to come together around a theme, each contributing a song illustrating it.
Can you remember the beginning?
I received another mail. Again. That was three years ago.
you mean 50 no?
50. Yeah, that's right. 50. The clock is ticking."
I nod.
