Les Instants Chavirés, Montreuil by eRikm and the author

«It is after having played ‘Les Archives sauvées des Eaux’ with eRikm, that I proposed this new work to him. After my first experiment which made me progress in a field where I had never been actor, the proposals I make with ‘ProtoRythmiques’ bring me on a more adventurous field and also more “democratic” (if however one can still employ this word after the use that makes the Busch administration of it).»

Didascalies 2 ou Trois personnages en quête de notes (2005) — ca. 20’

Didascalies 2 or Three characters in search of notes

For two pianos and a third very powerful instrument being able to hold a very strong note

«Last day, I found in a file 1993 a score for 2 pianos with the title “Revenir à la note de départ (to return to the starting note)”. I therefore decided to make of it a new composition without changing a note, moreover there were very few of it. What arranged me perfectly. Then I called that ‘Didascalies 2’ in memory of what I made the last year: a piece for piano and viola called shortly ‘Didascalies’Shortly ‘Didascalies’ was to be played on 2 notes, for piano and the same one for viola and had an obsessional character. Very very obsessssssional!»
