ADAMEK Ondrej - Fishbones - 08/09/2007

Creation : 08/09/2007 at the Royaumont Abbey
Music and conception : Ondrej Adamek
Number of musicians : 6 percussionists
Duration : 17 mn

The sounds that glide through the air carry a certain nostalgia, solitude, anxiety… they sound like human voice! The submerged percussion instruments drown us in an aquatic sonority that crescendo becomes a metallic roar. The cynic idea of fishy life cycle came to me while I was sophisticating this piece, a life that begins with an egg hatching in the ocean freely to end up in a form of pressurized canned food.
