The study in synchronicity, se sont penches dessus first achieved its final scoring after many changes. It was first composed as music to a choreography by Gabriel Hernandez: Le (!). eh ? Zovotrimaserovmeravmerouvian (dmzn !) ; se sont penches dessus, which is based on the letters of a fragment translated into French that appears in James Joyce's Finnegan's Wake. The short, static piece has existed in three versions: 1. - sspd , electronic music (normal version, a glissando from one chord of four sounds to another, employed in the electronics of No. 3) 2. - sspd sature, electronic music (intentionally distorted version of No. 1) 3. - se sont penches dessus for violin, alto flute and electronics, in which the flutist had to sing one tone of a diad It turns out that a version for two equal string instruments can better render the harmony of the piece (a tone sung simultaneously with a tone that is played on the flute yields a ring-modulated mixture of sound which is too indistinct), and thus the duo version for 2 violins was composed. A collaboration with the Kairos Quartet, Berlin, (le second tour du noye, 3rd String Quartet) led me to smuggle a viola and cello into the piece as background, in order to glue the abrupt harmonic changes discretely together. The Duo and the Quartet are definitive and equally valid versions, both of which are available separately: Duo (Carus 16.327/10), Quartet (Carus 16.327). se sont penches dessus is now literally the transposition of the translated quotation from James Joyce, in which the letters of the text se sont penches dessus establish the basic structure of the piece (the rhythmic standstill denotes the vowels of the 4 words), the letters of Zovotrimaserovmeravmerouvian indicate the fine rhythmic structure and the manner of playing (e.g., sul ponticello). Walter Feldmann. Score available separately - see item CA.1632700.

This work collects together basic musical gestures, and while not aiming at completeness, the twelve movements nevertheless form a loose cycle. They are compositional studies, insofar as they explore the ultimate limits of musical density, but also instrumental studies in the traditional sense: each individual movement sets a precisely defined technical and intellectual task for the performer. (Jessica Collewijn)

Das Stück vereinigt musikalische Grundgesten in sich, wobei die zwölf Sätze - wenn auch ohne Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit - einen lockeren Zyklus bilden. Es handelt sich um kompositorische Etüden, wenn man nach den äußersten Grenzen musikalischer Knappheit forscht, aber auch um instrumentale Etüden im üblichen Sinne, denn jeder einzelne Satz weist dem Interpreten eine genau umrissene technische und intellektuelle Aufgabe zu. (Jessica Collewijn).
