String Quartet n°3 models a cycle of inhalation, brief apnoea, exhalation and a longer suspension. These phases do not function as literal illustration; they shape density, energy, articulation and the relation between movement and stillness.

The four players behave as a single resonant body. Friction and instrumental breath generate self-renewing loops whose endings become the beginning of new gestures, while silence and resonance preserve the physical memory of what has just disappeared.
