Le chant de l’inaudible
- Jean-François Laporte
- Year of composition: 2000
- Duration: 14:56
- Instrumentation: saxophone quartet
- Commission: Quasar, with support from the CCA
Born after my research on multiple sounds on the saxophone, this minimalist work embroided with acoustical phenomenons explores the sound in a slow, continuous movement. This music of colours is lead by the evolution of a very mild stream of breaths which wind and unwind with each other. Purely deploying a layer of sustained sounds, the work expounds the progressive flow of superposition, then a silent evaporation.
