Asāvāri is the North Indian raga performed in the late morning hours, which evokes the moods for anguish, love and melancholy.

I have used textile pattern, based on various repetitions, which could be related to time perception in Indian cosmology. 

According to Indian philosophical tradition, time is cyclical, but not in terms of different Western interpretations. Indian cyclic time doesn’t involve a mechanical repetition of particular. Even cycles are the same in type, but they are not the same in detail.

In order to achieve it, each performer has been encouraged to improvise by changing some details within the framework of the cyclical time. Music unfolds in a process of continuous development and it constantly renewed in performance of cycle inevitably follows cycle.

The World Premiere was performed by Ensemble I’Itineraire: Julie Brunet-Jailly, (flute), Juliette Adam (clarinet), Lucia Peralta (viola) and Manasonics: Benoit Delbecq (piano) and Steve Arguelles (percussions) at Sonic Art Research Centre, on 25 November, Belfast, the Northern Ireland, in 2023.

The work was commissioned by the du Ministère de la Culture/Direction régionale des affaires culturelles d’Île-de-France in 2023.
