Under décrit les forces invisibles sous la surface des organismes vivants: la surface de la Terre, la peau d'un humain ou le miroir apparemment calme d'un lac la nuit.
Piano et percussions sont les deux forces extérieures et communiquent étroitement avec les sons électroniques. Les instruments à vent et les cordes alternent entre de courts fragments mélodiques et textures sonores. Les thèmes récurrents construisent un récit de lente évolution, mais non linéaire.

enregistrement: Talea Ensemble sous la direction de James Baker, Roulette New York, 26 septembre 2014

The electronics exist in two versions, either using a Macintosh Computer or an iPad.

There are three options to perform the electronic part.
1 the pianist operates a foot pedal with his left foot to trigger the sequences
2 an additional musician, seated between piano and percussion operates the computer
3 an additional musician operates an iPad

The output of either the Macintosh MacBook or the iPad are connected to two loudspeakers, positioned on the floor in front of the piano and the percussion set-up.

Macintosh Computer:
Use the Max/MSP stand-alone application. No Max/MSP authorization is necessary. The application contains all soundfiles. The sound output of the Macintosh can be directly connected to the two loudspeakers on stage without a mixing board.
