“A piece to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Percussions de Strasbourg: snare drums (sometimes one, sometimes four), intertwine in phrases and wriggling rhythms drawing a light and sparkling texture like bubbles of champagne… above, my keyboards light up fireworks… below, a timpani marks time like one who has drunk one cup too many…”.
