Programme Note

Souffles de pierres explores the cello as a surface of pressure, friction and resonant breath, connecting fragile air-like sound with denser material states.

Scored for cello, the work brings cello, friction and stone into a concentrated musical relationship. It was commissioned by Claudio Pasceri. The premiere context is documented as AR[t]CEVIA International Art Festival, Sassoferrato, Italy.
