The piece Des Journées Dans Les Virages from the album Game Over by Jean-François Bory is a commentary on the social problems of his time. The massive increase in motorisation, especially in Paris, the city where Bory lives and works, occupies an ever-increasing space in the everyday world of noise. Even the poetry is strongly affected by the roaring engines of accelerating cars. Bory's spoken words are only fragmentarily perceptible behind the engine noises, and the listener begins to wonder whether the recordings of the engine noises come from the streets of Paris or rather from a motorsport event.
