acts as facts
[2024]
for clarinet, percussion, guitar and double bass (11')
composed for àktapha
acts as facts is a process work, in the sense that much of its form and material is meant to be determined through a constant
feedback between the composer, the performers and the audience.
In acts as facts, my role as a composer is not that of an ultimate creator, but rather a sort of a doubter. Doubts raise from
more or less fixed relationships between sound, gestures, form and dramaturgy. These doubts don’t seek for a definite
answer, for the risk of suggesting another establishment is evidently present.
Through the creative process, the rehearsals don’t aim to a fine result but rather to throw light to dark corners of sound and its dialectic.
Every performance of acts as facts each time is meant to highlight different paths, and thus suggest another turn of events.
