Le pouvoir des mots

Alphabet 87, a piece of mine for 11 virtual violins, written for Morton Feldman after his death in 1987.
Usually, it is performed in a complex spacial situation with many speakers, but I also imagine it to be a nice soundtrack for video or film, so if you have an idea, go ahead!
