Gabbeh
Viola, SantûrDuration 05’
Gabbéh (means "rough", "natural" in Persian language) is a type of Persian carpet, made by the nomads, especially by the Ghashghâies, and generally by women. The symbolic patterns of Gabbéh, give it a particular character: nature, animals, trees, humans, the transhumance and the eternal cycle of life, are depicted with remarkable simplicity, beauty, and raw and pure. Gabbéh is a living painting in the shape of a carpet, because traditionally it has been made in resonance with dayly life: the patterns and colors are chosen unexpectedly, in relation to the feeling of the person who makes them.  This score is a continuation of this honest mix of life and art, with several passages in free time, so that the music can breathe "the moment".

Printed Version
Flute, Bb Clarinet, Saxophone (Soprano/Baryton), Violin, Viola, Cello
Duration 19'00

This work was initially entitled: "The Tower", third part of a trilogy started in 2018, and inspired by the tarot cards.
End of 2020 - beginning of 2021: the dark days followed one another in my home country. I kept hearing like the prose of the dead, in the day of wrath, at the time of the Last Judgment. A kind of apocalyptic inspiration, through fear, suffering, the permanent search for liberation from an eternal death.
These words of Hallâj came to my mind: "It is recollection, then silence; then aphasia and knowledge [...]"
A heavy silence amplified the atmosphere, and ended in beauty, timelessly.
In my head, and in a haunting way :
the body is ephemeral, but not the perception,
[listening] is a divine gift
and if only to hear like a deaf person
The whole, as a silence
