/// The word Changüí is a common expression in Rioplatense lunfardo (the slang traditionally spoken in Argentina and Uruguay), referring to an advantage, a benefit, a concession. In this work, the gestures and sonic materials produced by the violin are gradually taken up, extended, and transformed by the electronics, which offer them a kind of “second chance” or continuation: changüí becomes a musical metaphor. Rather than merely imitating the instrument, the electronics establish a dialogue with it, opening up an additional space for expression. [Rocío Cano Valiño]
Frises focused on the idea of one historical ostinato variation form. The first part “Frise jaune” is a prelude, a flexible improvisation around a constant D, coloured by harmonics and the electronic part consisting of bell sounds. This part is also inspired by the idea of carillon. The second part “Frise de fleurs” is based on a harmony created on a ground bass. Sequences of successive chords are gradually enriched before opening to achieve a more free and lyrical development. [Kaija Saariaho]
