Le Verre d’eau for viola and electroacoustic (2014)

 

Write a short piece about the meal … My first thought was the “glass of water”. Strange … Perhaps because water is for me the indispensable element to the good course of a meal and the appreciation of each of the dishes. The glass of water removes the taste of the previous dish and prepare to enjoy the following …

Water flat, sparkling water, mineral water, spring water, water “château la pompe” … A vast palette of taste however odorless and colorless. But does transparency do not reveal the hidden meaning ?
