d'Os is a monumental and founding work of Alain
De Filippis. This work in several parts has been created

of the village. Music was pre-recorded and played within light
projections : a pre-historical music, primitive and raw, filled
with an imaginary bestiary that probably inhabited the caves
of our ancestors. « De Mémoire d'Os » (of
bones memory) mirrors and other Herculean task of Alain
De Filippis on a data base of sounds, a kind of Sound
Encyclopedia : the first pages of this un-finished (and not
published) work were dedicated to pre-historic sounds, were
