The job of a cloud counter is not easy. Clouds change their shape at every moment, constantly joining, separating, appearing and then vanishing into thin air. Cloud counters can never reach a definitive or final result, and theirs is a frustrating job with few satisfactions.
Also note counters have more or less the same difficulty. The more they worry and scurry to anticipate, calculate, and create their structures, the more the nature of music eludes them.

Le métier de compteur de nuages n’est pas facile. Les nuages changent à chaque instant de formes, ils s’unissent les uns aux autres, se séparent, apparaissent et disparaissent dans le vide continuellement. Il n’arrivera jamais à un résultat définitif. Le métier de compteur de nuages est un travail frustrant qui donne peu de satisfaction.
Les compteurs de notes aussi ont plus ou moins la même difficulté. Plus ils s’acharnent à prévoir, à calculer, à structurer, plus la nature de la musique leur échappent. Le son, par sa nature même, se transforme continuellement dans le temps, et c’est justement cette variabilité qui nous fascine.
