Ce sextuor prend la forme d'un double trio a vent et a cordes. Il permet aussi l'utilisation d'un triple duo, ou cette fois ci, un vent est associe a une corde, d'ou le titre de la piece. Afin de permettre cela, j'ai choisi de placer les instrumentistes dans un dispositif scenique en quinconce. Une recherche sonore importante a ete necessaire au prealable de la periode d'ecriture proprement dite. L'utilisation de nombreuses techniques de jeu non conventionnelles cree ainsi un rapport quasi primitif entre le musicien et son instrument. Par la preparation du trio a corde, j'ai transforme de maniere naturelle le son acoustique. Cette modification confere aux instruments des sonorites electroniques parfois distordues. La volonte premiere de cette transformation etait de donner au sextuor, par l'alliage des timbres instrumentaux, l'apparence d'une seule entite et d'un instrument unique. Avec devenu singulier.
