To Chantal
It is when in a moment of sharp consciousness, Matter through the proliferation of its forms strikes us with the measure of the ephemeral. A painful and at the same time magnificent experience.
One being dissolved in the Number.
Magnificence of the abounding and of each of its fragile manifestations.
Sparkling of Presence.
Infinitely admirable moment of the kissing of parallels.
And Time.
Which could be the sense of this action, this abounding of sound, other than an answer to the amazement to the luxurious prodigality and the sumptuousness of Matter.
And this little sentence, these few words, that carried me along or guided me, I don’t recall
“Then as a drapery,
Spring came
On our dazzled bodies.”— LF
The technical and compositional challenge here is the work on metamorphosis. Using a single type of material (electric guitar) I had to find the tools and develop the processes to make it evolve in a form which, through the transformations of sound, would generate a spiral effect.
On a formal level

The title
La composition est bâtie sur un principe intuitif des sons fondamentaux et sons complémentaires. La teinte générale résulte de la superposition de sons de même famille, de sons aux nuances proches ayant pour base deux couleurs sonores composantes et leur fondamentale.
La couleur mentale que revêt un son étant subjective le but de cette musique n’est pas du tout de traduire en sons les couleurs de l’arc-en-ciel. Cette couleur n’existera que par rapport à d’autres données, contexte choisi par l’auteur.
