“What is for the eye must not duplicate what is for the ear”.

Robert Bresson

This work takes gestures which are ”around music” (counting, waiting, failing, tuning, repeating, solmization) as the musical material for a new piece.

This new piece composed with “gestures” is related to some cinematographic ideas of montage: repeated scenes, flashbacks, copy and paste techniques and a personal syntaxes between the relationship image-sound in a chamber music situation.
