Fighting cancer 
Fighting your own body 
But also with your hard drive 
What's haunting your mind 
Is there something you really believe in 
Do you still have faith 
To start loving your body again 
But you're afraid 
The cancer keeps you in check 
You fight and you're strong 
But this disease rages and does its work 
You know not everyone will die from it 
But that fear inside is so enormous!

Teaser (from rehearsal recordings) of Le Tombeau de Pasolini, Vol II & III.
Will be premiered by Nemø ensemble & Kevin Hendrickx 
at de Koer, may 11, 2025, Ghent, Belgium
On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Pasolini's death 1975/2025 - 
{ end of Pasolini cycle }

• Vol II (duration 24' ) 
Così sfogliai una vana rosa
(7 musicians & electronics)

• Vol III (duration 23' )
IO SO I NOMI
(8 musicians & electronics)

Le Tombeau de P.P.Pasolini was composed between 2014 and 2023.
Le Tombeau de P.P.Pasolini was composed in three pieces for ensemble and electronics, three independent volumes.

This cycle was initiated in 2014 with the commission of the first Vol (Vol I)
by Brussels based Ictus ensemble, for a show focusing on the Ars subtilior.

On a late afternoon in March (2022), accompanied by loved ones, we went to Ostia, to the very place of the tragic end, the one that says everything, without saying anything, by its screaming and deafening silence, at the very place where today (lately) stands a kind of stele/tombeau in memory of the immense visionary poet.
An inner slap, a spark, arose at that very moment, like something already written, but also an alert to have to do, to have to continue and "finish" this long cycle.

As a result, Vol II and III were composed between September 2022 and March 2023.
These two volumes was written for an identical formation than the first one,
7 or 8 musicians and electronics.

A composer and sound artist, Christophe Guiraud is dedicated to the realms of contemporary music and sound art. His primary goal is to delve into the crossroads of electronic, generative, and written music.

Ars Subtilior and Noise music serve as the dual muses for Christophe Guiraud, akin to two rivers seamlessly woven into a composition of profound strength. The French composer acts as a bridge, connecting the pinnacle of scholarly music with the avant-garde aspects of noise. 

Born in Toulouse in the mid-seventies, he later establishes himself in Brussels, transforming it into the nexus of his continuous creative journey. Presently, he is actively engaged and has collaborated for several years with a multitude of European ensembles and musicians, including Ensemble 21, ICTUS Ensemble, PHØNIX16 collective, Tom Pauwels, Arçon de Nièze, Benjamin Glorieux, Nemø ensemble, among others.

His latest compositions delicately blend instrumental timbre and sound hybridization, shrouding this alchemy in a certain secrecy. Here, more than anywhere else, Christophe Guiraud's recent works initiate a dialogue across eras, traversing from the polyphony of Ars Nova to Spectralism, all the while incorporating his noise heritage. Firmly unbound by historical constraints, the concluding pieces presented here unfold in a quivering stasis. The ensemble of these pieces brings coherence across a diverse array of musicians hailing from various places, traditions, and ensembles—everything intricately interwoven towards a particularly striking culmination.
