Par ANDRE MARC. Un-fini closes the cycle 'L’instant de sable' and opens a cycle to which it gives its name: The work is thus simultaneously a point of arrival and a point of departure. The term 'un-finite' brings this paradox, which springs from the speculative thinking of John Duns Scotus and Meister Eckhart, to expression./ Répertoire / Cymbales, Harpe, 2 Pianos et 2 Percussions

Par LIANG LEI. Having been interested in Mahayana Buddhism for a number of years, I went to a Buddhist monastery in upstate New York to study meditation in 1999. One evening, while walking alone by the side of the lake, I caught the sight of a “V” shape floating and extending on the surface of the water. It was a beaver taking a swim under the moon. This image gave me insight into my relationship with silence: underneath the music is a profoundly deep silence upon which I seek to inscribe my signature through sound. It serves as a point of departure that led to a series of works. – Lei Liang / Niveau : Avancé / Répertoire / Quintette à vent
