Soit treize invitations à partager les thèmes concoctés et enregistrés en 1992 pour "Vibraphone Alone", et ici treize interlocuteurs: de l'échange gémellaire avec un autre métallophone aux entrelacs percussifs en passant par diverses phases de relations bilingues avec aérophone ou cordophones. Serait-ce parce que les lames de métal reflètent et réfléchissent que cette musique est à ce point et d'emblée susciteuse d'images ? qu'elle provoque aussi méthodiquement dialogues et jeux de miroirs ? et surtout, qu'elle exige d'être aussi bien entourée ?
In other words thirteen invitations to share the tunes thought up and recorded in 1992 for "Vibraphone Alone" with thirteen different musicians: from the simple echo exchange with another vibraphone with its intricate percussive interplay, and including on the way various bilingual relationships with wind- or cordophones. Could it be because of the reflection of the shiny metal slats throwing back sheen and sound that this music is so evocative in the pictorial sense? that every time it seems to give rise to a dialogue of reflection in reflection? and above all that it demands to be accompanied in such an accomplished manner?
