entrée 03:05
“The Table I Write on, I say, Exists, i. e. I See and Feel it. (...) There was an Odor, i. e. it was Smelt; There was a Sound, i. e. it was Heard; a Colour or Figure and it was perceiv'd by Sight or Touch.”
2.
en mouvement 05:52
“But say you, surely there's nothing easier than for me to imagine Trees, for Instance, in a Park, or Books Existing in a Closet, and no Body by to perceive them. I answer you may so, (...) But what is all this, (...) more than framing in your Mind certain Ideas which you call Books and Trees, and at the same time omitting to frame the Idea of any one that may perceive them?”
3.
encore 09:04
“Upon shutting my Eyes all the Furniture in the Room is reduc'd to nothing”

"I wrote "entrée / en mouvement / encore" back in 2016-17. The title reflects the starting idea for the piece, which was to reflect on the concert situation as some sort of ritual that has its entrance, which later generates movement and which keeps on moving after this energy has been thrown into the room. A ritual consisting on both artists and audience, unable to exist without each other.

This idea led me to think about the popular thought experiment "if a tree falls in the forest..." which later led to reading George Berkeley's "A Treatise Concerning The Principles of Human Knowledge" (1710) to whom the thought is commonly (mis)attributed to. The three movements are composed from extracts from the book, translated into morse code and used as musical material.

This would become my first "text based" piece, a technique that would evolve in some of my later works such as "one for two" (2018) "YES FOR NO" (2020) and "three_four_maybe" (2021)."
