Àrgot is a cycle of pieces for bass clarinet and bluetooth speaker.
The latter, upside down inside the bell, projects sound against the air stream.
Acoustic and non-acoustic sound converse in an in-between where the two sides seem indistinguishable.
In some ways, it appears to be a single entity talking to itself, an uroboros speaking a language designed to exclude rather than connect. In this sense the argot, which is born according to Céline out of misery and hatred, is identical to the celestial languages.
