Monophonie est une pièce dont la texture est faite d’une seule ligne. Dans ma composition, le son est traité comme un unique corpus, chaque voix amenant des perspectives différentes ; la nature particulière des trois instruments rend ce phénomène encore plus intense. Ces perspectives sont déterminées par diverses manipulations du temps comme dimension principale du son. Le style, la dramaturgie, ainsi que les phonèmes, sont issus d’un poème de Nikos Engonopoulos (Les tourments de l’amour).

Monophony is defined as a texture where there is only a single line. In my composition, sound is treated as a single corpus, and each voice bears different perspectives of that corpus; the special nature of the three instruments makes this phenomenon even more intense. Those perspectives are determined by various manipulations of Time (as the main dimension of sound). The vein, dramaturgy and phonemes as well are derived from Nikos Engonopoulos’ poem (The torments of love).
