Tentations des Limites

About

“This piece is part of a personal approach to working with ensemble music, a formation for which I have already composed several times. My musical language, both intuitive and structured, remains attached to the poetry of sounds and is driven by a strong expressive intent.
The concept of hybridization is at the heart of this research. The piece opens with sonic fusions that blur perception, making it almost impossible to identify the source. Particular timbres develop through layering, giving rise to a hybrid, mobile, multifaceted sound mass that changes color as it unfolds.
Gradually, this moving mass fragments: the discourse breaks up, rhythmic components scatter, and different sonic episodes appear, multiply, and flourish. Then, as if intimidated, they gradually fade away, whispering their last breath at the threshold of audibility, like a memory already retreating.”
