Elisabeth Coudoux (Cologne) - cello
Ricardo Jacinto (Lisbonne) - cello
Félicie Bazelaire (Paris) - double bass
Pascal Niggenkemper (Paris) - double bass
Music for two cellos and two contrabasses whose strings are hit by a lever (sort of propeller). The variable speed motor is controlled by a foot pedal.
Pulsating organisms (beats), sustained sounds (drones) and the personal musical language of each of the four musicians create a fascinating world of sound.
