Farewells (2018) fixed media

A Date With Wind is a polygraphic recital for saxophone(s) & live-computer which was born after a fruitful premiere collaboration with Joël. The program is more or less flexible according to the performance circumstances as given durational frames though it is uncompromisely featuring cinematic-like built and thought musics that we like and wish to share.

The concert might exhaustively present : Marta Gentiluci's Exp.doc...et juv. (?), Bernard Cavanna's Goutte d'Or Blues, Julien Vincenot's Silent_Data_Corrupt, Jacopo Baboni Schilingi's Spatio Intermisso and Nicolas Jacquot's Une Autre Nuit.

Venus (2018) for solo viola

Farewells is a mixed music piece in the form of a requiem which was composed for my uncle’s funeral in February 2018. The textual fragments are from Fernando Pessoa, all coming from his first English Sonnet. They tell the original incommunicability of being and the shortfalls of language. Thus it is through contemplation and reverence that the spontaneous rebellion of humans towards mysteries and death might found its sublimation. Farewells is a piece of music which takes part of that ritual, the one that achieves the linking of presence to existence, of life to death.

The cantus firmus are issued from Fuse (2007) and the electroacoustic choral is issued from the 2d movement of Le Surgissement du Réel (2018).

Modus Operandi (2016) installation & performances

The Modus Operandi project aims at favoring an intrusion in the composition process, rather not through a musicological approach, but through singular apparatus designed to shift the objects & means of æsthetical feelings in music.

An installation version augmented with performances and lectures has been realized at the Lieu Minuscule gallery in Reims (Fr), May-June 2016.

with the participation of : Lucie Lanzini, scenography - Paul Caporini, saxophone - Ahmed Amine Ben Fguira, oud - Juliette Mock, communication

The project was made possible by the support of Aurore Dudevant & Philippe Zulaica (le Lieu Minuscule), FSDIE, CROUS, CRR de Reims, URCA, FLASH association and Césaré CNCM.
