Description
Contrechoqué is the second part of my Contremouvements cycle, started with the shortpiano work Contrecoupé.
This second piece develops pianistic figures from this first piece, but this time completely twisted, torn, crushed by the ensemble, building a ductile matter while being constantly restrained.
Virtuoso gestures provide contrast to slow tempi, collapsing with archaic noisy sounds, fragile resonances from the initial gestures.
This piece is dedicated to Jean-Luc Menet, Etienne Lamaison, Dimitri Vassilakis, Jeanne-Marie Conquer and Frédéric Baldassare of Ensemble Alternance, with all my friendship.
