“For the ‘13 unissons’, we split the orchestra in 13 subgroups (2-3 musicians) playing just one note as a unison. Every group can play as much as they want but never have more than 3-4 groups playing together. The silence is used as a moment of breath, giving a certain articulation between the musical moments. The main idea is to create different structures and associations between the groups.
‘27 times’ was a difficult piece to record because the structure is quite complex even if the result seems quiet and peaceful. For years our main goal with the orchestra was to convince everybody to feel the ensemble as a whole and not as a collection of individuals. For this piece we ask them exactly the opposite. We started with the idea that each musician had to choose his or her ‘most unique, personal sound’. But obviously, as this is so subjective, we had to find a way to have some coherence.
During this 30 minute piece, each musician has to play 27 times. The orchestra is divided into 4 groups (percussions, strings, winds and electronics), playing at 3 moments. In each moment, the musicians has to play 3 times a sequence of 3 times. Which is at the end 3x3x3, so 27 times, but always the same sound.” Cyril Bondi

Dans “13 unissons” (2016), l’orchestre est divisé en 13 sous-groupes jouant chacun une note à l’unison. Chaque groupe peut jouer autant de fois qu’il le désire mais jamais plus de 3 à 4 groupes ne doivent jouer en même temps. Le silence est utilisé comme un moment de respiration.
Dans “27 times” (2016), il est demandé à chaque musicien de révéler sa propre subjectivité à l’opposé de l’ensemble et de jouer 27 fois le même son.
Deux pièces qui étudient l’orchestre et ses possibles dans le domaine du continuum, du statique et de l’horizontalité.
