CHRYSALIS (electric violin)
The heat and the swelter of the dry sands of the Atacama Desert give the illusion of rain, from which mirage gardens bloom, filled with outlandish flowers and insects. In the midst of this obsession, the mythical butterfly Itszapalokl, the Aztec patroness of the country of rains and fogs, opens its cocoon. These two compositions are recordings of two violin improvisations, based on the principle of repeating a musical fragment lasting 23 seconds. In a collaboration to Mikhail Myasoedov.
