À Inés Wickmann
Symbole  archétypique de renaissance et de continuité, quel est ce Phœnix musical ? 
Une trace/confirmation de la vitalité acousmatique en ce début de XXIème siècle, assurément. 
Mais, pour moi, il s’agit aussi d’une vie nouvelle insufflée à des cendres sonores désertées, à de très anciennes prises de son et à des extraits réanimés mais travestis d’œuvres instrumentales. Éternel retour, si l’on veut, le présent — tellement présent aujourd’hui — n’étant finalement que le passé du futur.

F.D.

Commande de l’INA-GRM, l’œuvre comporte trois mouvements et a été composée dans le studio personnel de l’auteur en Avignon. Création mondiale le 8 octobre 2016 à Paris, concert INA-GRM.

										To Inés Wickmann

An archetypal symbol of rebirth and continuity, what is this musical Phoenix?
A trace / confirmation of the acousmatic vitality at the beginning of the XXIst century, of course.
But, for me, it is also a new life given to ancient musical ashes, very old recordings and reanimated but transvestites extracts of instrumental works. A kind of eternal return, the present - so prominent today - being finally only the past of the future.


Phoenix XXI was commissioned by the INA-GRM. The work comprises three movements in chains and was composed in the author's personal studio in Avignon. World premiere on October 8th 2016 in Paris (MPAA Saint Germain), concert INA-GRM.
