Program Notes
Orme d’Ombre is a work that deals with such considerations and is formally inspired by the interplay of opposing musical characters. The piece is characterized by the juxtaposition of musical materials that prompt two contrasting modes of perceiving time passing. In this piece I was interested in crossing the boundaries between goal-driven music and sonic entities that exist independently of their time coordinates, opening up a dimension of ‘sonic space’ and the dissolution of perceived chronometric time. Orme d’Ombre explores the exchange between a musical time and a musical place and how these two entities permeate each other via the listener’s expectations and memory of their reverberating appearances.
