State commission for the impromptu concert

Creation during the Festival Musiques en Scène 1992 in Lyon

Duration: 10'. Editions Lemoine

There is something fragile, childish, playful, light, carefree. It is the dreamlike universe of fiction, of the association of ideas, of the cock-a-donkey, of the digressive and the unstable. Often everything goes very quickly, each interferes, colors, leads the other in his game.

There is something to do with the ephemeral: what is experienced fully, totally in a short period of time, like a series of micro moments, finely chiseled little mosaics, where it is more important for the instrumentalists to "play with" than to "play together".

A rather “dark” instrumental formation for a rather “light” result.

The game, however, is serious and deep, albeit fast, light and stealthy.

We then formally find accumulations: accretions up to saturation which suddenly lead to a change of state, matter and timbres.

We also find fragments repeated identically in different contexts as well as an extreme rarefaction of the motifs which are then subject to great variability: perpetual variation of almost nothing, which from tiny displacements to tiny displacements, models a world constantly becoming.

Short version for a program

​

There is in this work something fragile, childish, playful, light, carefree...

It is the dreamlike universe of fiction, associations of ideas, cock-a-donkey, digression and the unstable.

It is a music of the ephemeral: what is experienced fully, totally, in a short period of time. It is then more important for the instrumentalists to "play with" the patterns than to "play together".

A rather "dark" instrumental formation for a rather "clear" result.

The game however is serious and deep, even if it is often fast, light and stealthy.
