Autoportrait en expirs

Autoportrait en expirs (physionomie du souffle), for string quartet

Breathing is rhythm and life. The to and fro of the bow on the string, as a metaphor of breathing in/breathing out, of yin/yang. In this changing breath, wether accelerated, or serene, blocked or easy, plural or singular, …, the emotions are reflected. It is not known what causes these changes. An inner journey: you hear nothing but a breath. I can only describe my own. My whole life is thus hidden within it, even though nothing is related about it. We won’t share anything more intimate.
