Parallel Textures - III

The piece is based on, repetitive rhythmic textural, motor movements and hidden politemporal chances by augmented and diminueted the number of the notes used in the cellular texture of the structure of the work.The timbral atmosphere of the piece is generated by joining two different process, deformation of the pre recorded acoustic instruments to be used as midi samples and using prepared acoustical instruments to create a rich transitional sound collor pallet. As a result joining two sound worlds (acoustic and sample sounds), an audable illusion is created in a way difficult to be defined which one is from one of the sources.

Quelques traces dans l'air

Comment les sons s'écoulent.
Comment les sons découlent, les uns des autres.
Comment les sons s'écoulent-ils les uns dans les autres.
comment un son, d'abord contenu, peut-il se déverser
Et nous offrir une surface
Sur laquelle nous pourrions pratiquer divers sports.
Comment une corde pincée pourrait-elle devenir
Le support mouvant de nos déambulations
