Les Lamentations de Mururoa

Description: At the beginning of 1989, the Experimental Music Group of Bourges asked me to contribute to a project of international composition to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the French Revolution. While I was trying to find a favorable angle to the approach of the project, I felt with more and more repulsion the chauvinistic harmonies of the official celebration of the French Revolution. In any way, I loved France, how could I participate in the celebration of a nation that even in the 200 years of … more

Noces noires

Description: To start, an order from the poet: it was a huge blow of heart. Say more? The beauty of the images of the text, the human sensibility of the poet, the restraint of the words and the tone of the voice, to imagine, to express, to make feel the passage to death and its reflection on us, the living. The music? At the service of the poem, in its traditional role of highlighting images and deep meaning, emotional support. After a first work of analysis and restructuring of the text by silence, comes t… more
