Anch'io Sono Pittore

Description: Frequently, the motivations that push the composer to write a work are absolutely extramusical. Regarding this, the appetite to compose was aroused in me by the impression that produced me reading the sentence: "And I too am a painter" attributed to Corrège, who would have pronounced it in front of Raphael's 'Sainte Cécile' in Bologna.

Arcane 11

Description: The different sound materials of the work come from commercial synthesizers (DX7 / D50). The SAMI (Computer Assisted Music Support System), developed by Bernard Donzel-Gargand and Adrien Lefevre (IRCAM), allowed me to create this music. This instrument offers various access commands such as: - joy-sticks, - photocells, - pedals, who can each, according to our imagination, drive real-time music parameters (change of timbre, velocity, frequency according to modes, ranges, series, tempo, speed et… more

Arion ex Pascal

Description: This piece exploits a voluntarily limited sound material, opposing two types of sounds: long and very short sounds. This material was generated at the Pascal* studio of the CRFMW in Liège. To obtain an enlargement of the sound palette, the sounds once generated have been reworked at the Arion studio** of the same Research Center. Arion therefore produces no sound, it only affirms, punctuates, or rather nuance, modulate Pascal's statements. Each of the two studios is entrusted with a specific mu… more

Battimenti

Description: This work was done by means of an IBM Music Feature Card, installed in a PC computer. "Batimentos" is a study a single sound.

Les Bijoux de Cornelia

Description: Cornelia said to me, "Oh! this sound, I keep it - But it's mine! - Yes, but every time I hear a sound that I like, I put it aside for my collection, and I call these sounds my jewels ". I saw then in UPIC only a machine to draw or to geometrize the music. Cornelia, by her words, led me into a different mode. Imagining a very simple score, cutting into his living flesh and extracting a complex wave that could provide subtle timbres and dynamics, became a children's game surprised to manipulate i… more

Compost sonore

Almost all sounds in this work are "concrete" in nature. The sound of water is barely transformed to avoid losing their "natural" reference. These must have been used without much transformation, wh… more
