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).
with Sara Notarnicola & Sirana Szterynski, voices.

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.

l'Odyssée ou la mort d'Ulysse (2019)
Rémi Luc
Nous embarquons pour une soirée où s'enchâssent le temps réel de l'émission et le temps tout aussi réel de la gravure. Concrètement, nous assistons à une performance gymnastique et un live analogique. Passés quelques instants, ces deux événements redevenus matière (le premier est filmé et le second enregistré) desservent un montage sur le vif puis une projection de l'Odyssée ou la mort d'Ulysse, un film toujours presque déjà fait.
