De front (Quatuor)

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Pierre Jodlowski's De front (Quatuor). The idea of ​​this piece is based on a set of writings around the processes of aggression in humans and animals, as well as on the notion of frontality (which relates to the intermediate, fuzzy zones of our experience - physical or intellectual). The principle of the work (hence the precision quartet) is based on the development, "in concentric circles," of four groups or entities: 1. clarinet / trumpet; 2. percussion; 3. string quintet; 4. parts electronics. These gradually close in on the listener. This convergence takes place through processes of accumulations and encounters in which perception passes from individualized states to a group feeling.
