Program note
Shy branches grow slowly, crumbling the arctic, deep, bland, wide sky. Greyish murmurs caress the impenetrable skin. The warm underwater light allows you to hear the footsteps of the shadows.
The work inhabits a dense and dynamic fog, serving as the scene for a confrontation between agonies and expansive forces. This conflict eventually leads to a transformation, where the sonic atmosphere becomes a transcendental and ecstatic space. Such a metamorphosis suggests a turn towards a completely contrasting, yet possible horizon, where the instrumental textures dissolve into new states of light and shadow.
