Composed in 1979 and edited on LP in 1984 by Amaryllis. Reissue on cd by Oral, 2008. 'Contrary to an electronic music delighting itself in soaring above reality in self abstraction, the concrete music of Bernard Bonnier has a down on earth hearing, and a dancing too, altough now and then out of beat. Bernard Bonnier has defined chameleon-music as: '...a mime* trying to beat its parth through the puzzle (casse-tête: literally 'head-breaker') of soliciting madness, sundowns, violence, science, love, death, velveeta* cheese, competition, sex, zen, and mandragora.' This must be true as well of soldier boy, an issue to the motion: 'nothing lost, everything regained'. Each and every single sound hear trough this piece has been made from the loop 'tell me why...' by means of electro-acoustic manipulations, the mark of Bernard Bonnier's concrete music. Following the steps of Pierre Henry, Bernard Bonnier has been a forerunner to new-wave, and other 'underground rock' music.'
