about

Déambulations (french for “wandering” or “ramblings”) is a live-generated piece for violin, cello, piano & electronics.
Live-generated means that while the main structure of the piece has been set, the score and the electronics will always be different, for each performance and rehearsal. The ephemeral concept comes from my experience with a book titled “Cent mille milliards de poèmes” by French poet Raymond Queneau which contains one hundred thousand billion versions of a sonnet: with each line having 10 different possible versions. Each time you open the book, you compose a poem using this multitude of options, creating a brand new poem anchored in that specific moment you share with the book.
The result is something that feels like taking a stroll, or a Sunday drive, where musicians and electronics move together, sometimes apart, sometimes intertwined or tangled, but always advancing in a common direction that has, as the performance unfolds, not yet been defined.
