Presentation, score excerpt and audio excerpt

 

This work has been written for Marianne Piketty and Pascal Contet, on request of the Festival des Musicales d’Auberive (France). It is a little enigmatic work, basing itself on one hand on threatening, or even stormy clusters, and on impassive tritones, and, on the other hand, on lyrical of dreamy passages. The title can evoke the emergence of forces of the Subconscious, the emergence of physical or meteorological phenomena, or also the emergence of sonorous events, for instance the pianissimo apparition of the violin under a forte of the accordion.
