” A piece written both in memory of the Chinese composer Mo Wuping and in homage to the Percussions de Strasbourg, this work owes much to the discovery of certain rare instruments, notably the “putipus”, Italian friction drums. It is divided into four moments, each of which gives the first role to a particular timbre: the friction drums, the woodwinds (marimbas), the metals (cymbals and vibraphones) and then the hand percussion are the successive leaders”.
