Trans

for tenor saxophone and electronics (2018-19) – 14′ – [op. 32]
commissioned by ensemble l’imaginaire
premiered in Strasbourg by Philippe Koerper

[it] Trans significa per me l’idea di attraversare, di avanzare; il brano rappresenta quest’idea di movimento continuo verso un’orizzonte lontano. Cerco di immergermi nel suono e nella musica, associo idee, a partire da suoni di vento e di sintesi, il sassofono si inserisce in un tessuto sonoro in evoluzione. Mixo, alla ricerca di uno spazio musicale, il suono dello strumento, di sintesi e ambientali (vento, parole, registrazioni di paesaggi notturni).

J’essaie de m’immerger dans le son et la musique, j’associe les idées, à partir des sons du vent et de la synthèse, le saxophone s’insère dans un tissu sonore en évolution. Je mixe, à la recherche d’un espace musical, le son de l’instrument, synthétique et environnemental (vent, paroles, enregistrements de paysages nocturnes).

[en] For me, Trans means the idea of transforming, developing, advancing; the piece represents this idea of continuous movement towards a distant horizon. I try to immerse myself in sound and music, I associate ideas, starting from sounds of wind and synthesis, the saxophone is inserted in an evolving sound fabric. I mix, in search of a musical space, the sound of the instrument, synthetic and environmental (wind, words, recordings of nocturnal landscapes).
