- Program Notes
- This piece was commissioned in 2022 by Radio France. The name of the work refers to the phrase said by Ukrainian brave woman to a Russian soldier on the first day of full scale invasion of Russia in Ukraine: "Take some seeds into your pockets, so they grow like sunflowers after you lie down here, because you were not invited to come to my land". The idea of the piece is to gradually change the color of the sonority by preparation of the string at each instrument of the ensemble. The piece is divided on 5 movements starting from very serene, naive and bright sound which gradually turns into very sinister, dark, consisting of barely stable tones sonority.
