C'est apres un entretien avec le Professeur Yuji Ikegaya concernant ses recherches en neurologie que j'ai voulu travailler sur quelques particularites fonctionnelles du cerveau humain. Quatre de ces specificites ont retenu mon attention. La premiere est ce qui est de l'ordre de l'autonomie ou de l'independance. En effet, alors qu'aucune stimulation exterieure n'ait lieu, le cerveau humain montre des activites spontanees qui s'expriment sous forme de patterns fixes. La seconde est le principe d'<> des gestes ou des phrases avec le fonctionnement des neurones miroirs : l'homme apprend en imitant les gestes des autres, c'est la source d'emotions comme la compassion ou la sympathie. La troisieme est liee a l'apprentissage spontane et l'auto-renouvellement du cerveau, faculte qui le differencie singulierement de l'ordinateur. Enfin la conscience du <>, qui est ce qui le differencie du cerveau de l'animal. J'ai trouve dans la forme classique et austere du quatuor un terrain d'exploration ideal pour elaborer ce projet musical. Le quatuor est en effet compose des quatre cerveaux des musiciens, mais il est egalement une entite a part entiere, un centre nevralgique unitaire. L'ecriture musicale procede ainsi par imitation, sur une base de patterns qui varie constamment dans une quete identitaire et dans son rapport a l'autre et aux autres (musiciens). L'autre, c'est egalement l'autiste, celui qui n'arrive pas bien a imiter et a comprendre les expressions, emotions et gestes exterieurs. La question des rapports devient alors celle de la dependance, de l'independance et/ou de l'interdependance. Elle est au centre de mon processus compositionnel qui, par l'organisation et la sonification des comportements aux differentes voix du quatuor, est egalement un moyen de me questionner en tant que compositrice, sur mon identite et sur mon propre rapport au monde.

Quatuor No 2 was first performed by the Tana string quartet on April 14, 2013, at Radio France, Paris. I conceived a piece whose principal subject was going to consist in the description of a minuscule sonic element. The description of this tiny initial material would be so precise, so detailed that, deployed on a much larger scale than its original one, it would occupy the entire duration of the piece. At that point, I just had to choose a sound model as the starting point of the piece, the sound that would best characterize the string instruments themselves: the noisy sound produced by the bow barely coming in contact with one of the strings, getting ready to acquire speed, weight, acceleration, and producing a full sound of a violin, a viola or a cello... -Daniel D'Adamo.

Lara Poe's (b. 1993) energetic Divergence (2015-2016) for string quartet was conceived cyclically: the four movements explore drifting in and out of focus between different materials. A light ditty of the second movement diverges to the third movement's overtone derived chords.Duration: c. 25'This product includes a set of parts (violin I, violin II, viola, violoncello) and a score.Lara Poe is a Finnish-American composer who is currently based in London.
