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.
