The composer has given the following explanation about this work:

"Composed in 1963 and coming after several more rigorous compositions, Terre de feu (Earth of Fire) is an informal and contemplative work which escapes from all organizations of a language. It reflects my love for fire and water noises that sometimes, paradoxically enough, resemble each other so much. To tell the truth, these sounds have been purposefully excluded from the elaboration of the work, but the chosen sound materials have a life that obeys the same laws. The general form is inspired by natural phenomena, and the listener finds himself in the presence of a realm of sounds in which he is invited to take a walk, without someone having traced for him beforehand the path of a logic."

The work received a first performance in the Maison de la Culture de Grenoble, with the participation of ballet Kinesis, on February 6, 1965. Its first concert performance took place in Warsaw, September 22, 1966.
