OCTOBER 1st

for orchestra (2018)

The expressivity of the ondes, based on a continuum of frequences that makes it similar to the human voice is confronted to the rhythmical and percussive violence of the piano.

Both instruments interact in a crossed toxic relationship, mixing their sonic characters one into the other.

Enno Poppe

The universe exists in between two singular points: one is the maximum concentration and the lack of time and space, the other one is the maximum dilution and a terminal unfolded time. An aeon is the lapse of time between these two moments and therefore the overall duration of the universe.

Æon is an invitation to follow this voyage of creation and annihilation at a human scale, a representation of the forces in movement ordering space and form whose origin and end are the same singular point. The gestures are linked one to another as part of a continuous evolution and differentiation. The path evolves like on the surface of the Moebius strip, once the journey ends by going through the limits of the strip it finishes at the same starting point but in an opposite space.

TOUT BAS

for tubax solo, large ensemble and electronics (2010)

Tout Bas introduces the discovery of the Tubax, the contrabass saxophone created by Benedikt Eppelsheim in 1999. This composition delves into the various ranges, unique techniques, and emotive qualities of this instrument within a concertando structure. The ensemble and live electronics enhance the Tubax's timbral range, with bass instruments complementing its sound, except for tenor and soprano saxophones which provide an extension to its natural register. The piece showcases the Tubax's full potential, requiring advanced technical prowess and expressive artistry for a compelling performance.
