Program notes:
Only by looking at an object from multiple perspectives can we discover every aspect of it, even the most hidden. In this piece, then, the shape is revealed through a gradual exploration of the object from different points of view, revealing all its properties, from timbral to material. At first, it is as if something is submerged, muffled, with distant revelations of the same object; until we come to a close encounter with it, as if a light illuminates it completely, until its true identity is revealed. Every tiny detail previously hidden is brought back to memory, everything that was initially observed from other points of view is revealed in its entirety.
But after a fleeting encounter, the object is catapulted far away, into a rarefied dimension where everything slows down.
