As part of L’Air(e) by the Percussions de Strasbourg Trio No Bad Vibes, brèves n°2, 26, 41, 55, 84 and 96 were performed.
Creation : 1986
Duration : 18′
“The 66 Brèves pour 66 musiciens-parlants are short solos for different instruments. The musicians are actors, playing scores that are also speech scores. From tuba to violin, from glockenspiel to marine trumpet, from moo boxes to microchip suits, since 1987 they’ve been feeding – all things considered! – my little “well-tempered keyboard” of text-music relationships, organized in 2 Books of 66 Breèves, played by speaking musicians. Solos, now also duos, trios, quartets.”
