About

"In 2010 while waiting for the first rehearsals of a concert in São Paulo (Brazil) in my hotel room, I found myself with several days of free time. With no piano, computer or music paper, I started experimenting with totally silent vocal emissions of an improvised text, pronouncing it in an extremely detailed way, spelling it out but avoiding the vibration of my vocal cords.

"During the silent enunciation of a text, tiny sounds occur inside the mouth itself, lips clash, the tongue hits the back of the teeth and palate, it slams against its inner parts, the whistling sounds are modulated by the shape of the tongue, they pass between the teeth, resonate inside the mouth, are interrupted by a occlusive consonant. In the concentrated listening to these minimal sounds - breaths, gasps, hisses, murmurs, frictions, whispers, spasms - a musical intimacy of a particular sensuality is established, linked to their evocative power. All this takes place in an infinitesimal musical scale.

"The idea of composing a cycle came after composing
Lips, your lips for voice and electronics (2010), approaching the same scale of sound in a piece for alto flute, voice and electronics, Keep your furies (2012). Later, Air lié (2013) for flute and electronics, Traum-Entelechiæ for voice, alto flute, harp and electronics (2016) and Fall, love letters fragments (2017) for voice, harp and electronics extended and completed the cycle."
-  Daniel d'Adamo
