Spiritus/Stella

Spiritus/Stella echoes the XVIIth century fondness for melancholy (which is also expressed in its literature, philosophy and painting) as well as references to Marin Marais and Sainte-Colombe. Detailed and animated with many expressive figures, the writing is modelled by this abstract, a psychological and eventful pattern that alternates between excitement and dejection, eloquence and retraction, to highlight that a so-called distortion of the thought is actually the symptom of a star-shaped spirit. [Denis Dufour]
