about

Cette suite a été composée en février 2021 chez moi, à Paris, en réponse à l'appel d'œuvres de Motus et du festival Futura sur la thématique « de la légèreté ».
On pourrait qualifier la pièce de « suite domestique ». Les 4 mouvements font alterner deux formes : les mouvements 1 et 3 sont dynamiques, fracturés, et composés de sons d'intérieur. Les mouvements 2 et 4 sont quant à eux naturalistes, tournages sonores dans les rues de la ville en cette période étrange de couvre-feu.
Pièce stéréophonique pensée pour être amusante à interpréter sur orchestre de haut-parleurs.

This suite was composed in February 2021 at my home studio in Paris, in response to the call for works by Motus and the Futura festival on the theme of “lightness”.
One could qualify this piece as a “domestic suite”. The 4 movements alternate two forms: movements 1 and 3 are dynamic, fractured, and composed of sounds recorded in my appartment. Movements 2 and 4 are prepared field recordings recorded in the streets of the city during this strange period of curfew.
Stereophonic piece thought to be fun to perform on a loudspeaker orchestra (acousmonium).
