Notes sur cette pièce

I simply wanted to create music that brought together the raw elements of things I have liked since I was very young. Additionally, I wanted to move away from the mechanical and angular progressions that are a key feature of my works—compositions made up of various free and open fragments—and write music that feels a bit more organic. For me, the goal of all composition is the process of overcoming my limits and exploring new paths. This time, I wanted to use the cello as a solo instrument for two main reasons: as a sort of compositional exercise dealing with the balance between the cello and the ensemble, and to write "melodies" utilizing the various expressive possibilities of the cello. The work is composed of three parts: The first part is a prelude that highlights the virtuosity of both the ensemble instruments and the cello. In the second part, the cello poses various questions and riddles to the ensemble. The ensemble instruments respond to the cello in a way that gives a mechanical feeling—like broken machines, they ignore the cello's input. However, the cello keeps questioning, acting as a catalyst that drives powerful musical progressions. The third part is a noise-timbre study between the cello and the ensemble. This ultimately transforms into electronic sounds, with the cello becoming "robotized," almost like a machine (but broken, crazy machine), concluding the piece.
