- Program Notes
- DESERT BLOOM Desert bloom is a piece for double bass and electronics, which highlights the natural harmonics of the strings. These sounds, played quickly and rhythmically, create a sonic fabric that is both delicate and virtuoso. A wobbly pulsation frames this music close to caprice or baroque invention, to give it a dreamlike and repetitive, even psychedelic, character. The double bassist, leaning over his instrument, dances with it, brushing against it, touching it delicately but with precision. It is an intimate performance, a close listening, which invites an attention which does not impose a direction, but rather which encourages the abandonment of a search for the consequence. We allow ourselves to sensitively listen to the sound in its present moment, losing the notion of time.
