Hélène Brechand_direzione, arpa

Seguendo la sua ispirazione, attraverso improvvisazioni e la creazione di partiture grafiche, come tanti percorsi possibili, Hélène Breschand invita l’ascoltatore a scoprire un filo conduttore, attraverso i meandri di un intimo labirinto: la diversità dei paesaggi attraversati e la ricchezza delle atmosfere vissute sono l’espressione di un viaggio interiore, un invito a ritrovare se stessi.

Sulla composizione di Julia Marczuk-Macidlowska, Palimpsest:
” Palimpsest is inspired by Vilém Flusser’s book Gestures, especially the chapter on the gesture of writing. Flusser argues that this gesture, once tied to the hand, is being overtaken by mechanical and then computational ways of “writing” that no longer need the hand at all. The piece follows that arc, from handwriting through the typewriter and keyboard to the generative system. The score reflects this too, drawing on graphic notation, including words calligraphed by the composer’s own hand.”
