Les points du tout
From the ultimate, indivisible element—the point—to the whole, made up of a multiplicity of irreducible fragments, a kind of vertigo arises, through a mirror effect of irresistible attractions and feedbacks.
In this trio, drawing from a fragment of sound—an harmonic—the violists’ fingers glide lightly along the strings, unfolding clouds of echoing partials. The interfering vibrations diffract and gradually dissipate.
The gesture then transforms, exploring new paths, new colors, timbres, and playing techniques, until it once again reveals the individual voices and their playful, sometimes even bucolic, counterpoints.
A final murmuration momentarily isolates one protagonist, who calls upon the others to join in a profound unity—one streaked with enigmatic reminiscences and shared complicity.
