COMPOSITIONS:


1.  Cercles, 13’17’’ / 2000-2001 (cat. 91d)
octophonie

5ème moment de ‘La forme du temps est un cercle’
5th moment of ‘The shape of time is a circle’

Here are some of the figures of time, put into action. There is what presses and flees, - what beats and hammers, - what breaks in wave, - what withdraws, reverses, - what splashes in sheaf, - what trickles in rain, - what flows, by ginning, - what pearls slowly, - what gushes by jerks, - what gyrates in whirlpool, - what evaporates...

In five stages, the listening path accomplishes a journey, going towards its finest grain, and the perception progressively becomes sharper in its appreciation of images and forms.

The transience of the colors, the velocity of the figures will be resolved in a spiral motion (this three-dimensional form of the circle), according to which the initial sound-image (the bells) will be prolonged to infinity in the final sound-image: that of summer crickets in the night of a suspended, dreamy time. 


2.  Tremblement de terre très doux!, 28’ / 1978 (cat. 66)
stéréophonie

2ème partie d’Erosphère
2nd part of Erosphere

The title - in musical homage to Max Ernst - is meant to evoke a world of auditory images in combination with the fantasy of unexpected relationships. 'The strange' is created by the familiar. What do these rolls, these murmurs, these impulses, this song, these peaceful rounds, these sudden bursts, these returned calms recall?

The path of the work could also depict the dramatic unfolding of a day (of a life?) from daybreak (climate 1) to night (landscape 4), passing through anxious encounters, transits (1 to 3), preparing for the drama that is tied up in landscape 3 before unraveling in climate 4.

The "narration" organizes adjusted, balanced and linked musical values where harmonic temperatures, closed spaces, muffled movements, a moment of panic, brilliance, a serious resumption which remains in suspense...

Successively:
climate 1 electronic flows, aurora
transit 1  image / mirage
landscape 1 rolling / sizzling / light wind
climate 2 regular/irregular flows and rhythms
landscape 2 composed loops in diminution
transit 2 transposition
landscape 3 maximum of fast and slow values: walking - jumping - sliding - flying
climate 3 flows and transposition - climate 1 reversed
landscape 4 slices and shocks
climate 4 and
transit 3 flows and variations
landscape 4 depth and
continuation and end colors of the night

« Les propriétés souterraines de l’écoute bousculent doucement les idées »


3.  Vers... , 12’25’’ / 2018 (cat. 105)
octophonie 

4ème moment du Projet « OUÏR »
4th moment of Project "OUÏR"

Tensions-attractions, shifting attention 
Resonant suspense...

... horizon of expectation... luminous orients... impulses...

To let the hearing act as it pleases, to follow the lines of force, those of the blocks and the holes of silence, of the masses and the whirlpools.

Calls that attract, interferences that disturb, reminders that repel.
Signs (insignificant), situations (uncertain). 
Paths towards the distant.
