The concept of this album derives from the transliteration on the spot - achieved by the conductor - of the scores of two movements of a classic string quartet by Haydn into hand signals, which were interpreted immediately by the improvising ensemble (which had no access to the score), all in real time. In conjunction with the conductor, the score functions as a signal generator, establishing a process that results in what we'll call, in lack of a worst term, a "degenerativization" of the original works through a characteristic language of improvisation decided for this particular ensemble. Despite its extreme derivative transformation, the pieces maintain more or less the structure, textures and melodic profiles of their generative genus.
