Music located 'behind',
directed towards a place other than the
expected one, almost inaccessible.
Occasionally a window opens to the interior of the
performance: a virtual mirror reflects the musicians
and transports their image to the observable outside.
A hidden camera captures the movement and the gesture
of the performers. These are projected onto different
screens on the stage, creating a complex geography of
correspondences between the front side and the back side.
The 'mirrors' are flexible, made of different materials and
textures. They are artefacts fully integrated in the musical
discourse; sound and image mingle indissolubly, almost
alchemically.
A surface is folded, the reflected image is folded, music is
folded (the audience is folded (?))
Musical space as a complex extension: segmented,
divided, fractioned, suggested, virtual or real.
Echoes of Machaut: filtered, reflected, evoked, deformed,
magnified, miniaturized, holding the structure, as an
ornament, as an ornament of an ornament, as mystery or
evidence.
Leonardo trapped in the water, in the flute, in the
speaker, on the screen, in the air, on the mirrors.
Hitchcock behind everything, guilty, glimpsing out
of the window.
