Narrator: 

„Es ist einfach, ich habe Abel getötet, weil ich dich  nicht töten konnte, doch meiner Absicht nach bist du tot, Ich verstehe, was du sagen willst, aber Göttern ist der Tod verwehrt, Ja, obwohl sie alle Verbrechen auf sich nehmen müssten, die in ihrem Namen oder ihretwegen verübt wurden, Gott ist unschuldig, alles wäre genau so, wenn es ihn nicht gäbe, Aber ich kann, weil ich getötet habe, von jeden, der mich findet, getötet werden, Nein, so wird es nicht sein, ich schließe mit dir ein Bündnis, Ein Bündnis mit dem Verstoßenen, fragte Kain, denn er traute seinen Ohren kaum, Sagen wir, ein Abkommen gemeinsamer Verantwortung für Abels Tod, Du erkennst also deine Teilschuld an, Ja, aber sag es nicht weiter, es bleibt ein Geheimnis zwischen Gott und Kain.“ 

José Saramago, Kain, 2009

C’est au cours de l’année Messiaen, en 2008, que Samuel Favre, percussionniste, joue pour la première fois Des canyons aux étoiles, un vaste cycle en trois parties et douze mouvements composé par Olivier Messiaen entre 1971 et 1974, suite à un voyage dans l’Utah, aux Etats-Unis. Si les canyons de l'Utah servent de point de départ à cette monumentale fresque descriptive, la musique s'élève ensuite progressivement jusqu'aux étoiles et rencontre, au cours de cette ascension, plusieurs des chants d'oiseaux chers au compositeur. Un chef-d’œuvre d’une grande puissance d’évocation dont nous parle Samuel Favre dans le cadre de notre série « Un soliste, une œuvre ».

Six Marimbas - Steve Reich

The Sinful Man Walked Through the Whole World (Sirine)

Steve Reich - 18 Musicians

St. James Infirmary (Moriarty)

Six Marimba's by Steve Reich. 

Performed by the Percussionists of the Royal Conservatory of Brussels.

The search for sound, the Absolute Sound, the sound that is connected with the outside world and the Beginningless is an idea that excited both the European musical alchemists, and the wise men and philosophers of the East. It is a quest, which in itself is the answer, and in the title of the album “The Unfound Sound” suggests no frustration or sadness. Together with the wonderful composers who have turned to the marimba palette, we are looking for this sound in different styles: popular music, instrumental theater alongside with a salutation and a low bow to the traditional Indian ragas, romantic minimalism, and imaginary folklore. I hope that our musical adventures are just beginning.

Üngüjin / Hommage a Xenakis (2011)

Tehillim  II

"The piece is in three movements, fast, slow, fast. In the two outer fast movements the marimbas set the harmonic background which remains rather static compared to recent pieces of mine like Double Sextet (2007). The marimbas interlock in canon, also a procedure I have used in many other works. The vibes present the melodic material first solo and then in canon. However, in the central slow movement the texture changes into a thinner more transparent one with very spare use of notes, particularly in the marimbas. I was originally concerned this movement might just be ‘too thin’, but I think it ends up being the most striking, and certainly the least expected, of the piece.
Mallet Quartet is dedicated to the Amadinda Percussion Group on the occasion of their 25th anniversary and to Nexus for a lifetime of playing together with them." (Steve Reich)

Finding a tangency (2012)
for ensemble

Nieuw Ensemble Amsterdam
dir. Julien Hempel

Finding a tangency (2012)

Assimilation was composed for a contrabass and a computer at die Kunstuniversität Graz in Austria in 2013.
It is an attempt to make organic relationships between three elements characterized by different quality of motions and of timbres; exploding attack - blaze, monotonous succession - monotone, and metallic harmony - bright.
Various modes of correspondence between these three types of motions/timbres are explored during the course of the piece. Gradually they develop interdependently to a climax. At the end of the piece they are converged to a single stream through a superimposition of the different types of motions/timbres.
This piece was awarded a third prize at International Taiwan Electroacoustic Music Award(Taiwan).

Assimilation for contrabass and electronics (2013)
