Premiered : April 20, 2006 Palais des Beaux-Arts, Brussels by Musiques Nouvelles, Conductor : Jean-Paul Dessy

«Between the composition of Presque Rien with instruments and its creation, passed approximately 3 years, with the result that I had forgotten the score a little. At the time of the premiere, I was extremely disturbed, not because I found that good or bad, but this score in any case indicated the end of the series Presque Rien. And I believed one moment even that it indicated bluntly the end. Something like after that I do not have anything any more to do. Blocked! … Free and without a priori, I decided to let me lead by the time and the chance of encounters. I thus started to compose without projects…»

Premiered : Chapelle de Boondael, Brussels. May 16, 2004

«For secret reasons about which obviously I will not speak, I committed myself composing a second piece for Alto, Piano, SM (Memorized Sound) and Computer. Did my two companions took the news of the good side since anyway it is them who had asked me (for what reason? but it is part of secret!) therefore I put on at working on the first of January, 2004.»
