« Ici, plusieurs nudités cohabitent — l'une d'elle, ensevelie, est un lac sans fond où frayent de sombres entités qui cherchent leur nom
Cette autre, beaucoup plus simple et lumineuse ne s'embarrasse pas de tels personnages. Elle est au cœur de l'immense en toutes saisons, à tout instant. Surgissant, vivante, d'un vide sans nom. » / « Here, several nudities cohabit — one of them, buried, is a bottomless lake where swimming dark entities seek their name. This other one, much simpler and luminous, is not concerned by such characters. It is in the heart of the immense in all seasons, at any moment. Emerging, alive, from a nameless void. » L. M. (English translation by Charlotte Mackay)
La Patience (2020)
For ocarina, viola, piano, cello and bass clarinet, and Partition concrète/electronics.
Commissioned by Decibel for the “2 Minutes from Home” project, where composers the ensemble had collaborated with in the past were commissioned to create short new works recorded from home during the COVID 19 pandemic lockdowns in Australia.
« Nécessité d'une faille — l'usure. Jusqu'à se tenir à l'équilibre sur cette ligne d'ombre toujours se déplaçant. » / « Necessity of a flaw — attrition. Until you balance on this line shadow always moving. » L.M. (English translation by Charlotte Mackay)
Decibel (founded in Western Australia, 2009) are a new music ensemble that focus on the integration of acoustic and electronic instruments in chamber music performance. Whilst rooted in western art music tradition, Decibel aim to remove stylistic boundaries in their commissioning and performance approaches, which focus on the combination of acoustic and electronic sounds.
