Ina-Grm CD: Manuel de résurrection, Kassandra, Sopiana, Amorgos, Moires

Mâche's music invites us to "look at stones as a kind of poem", as Roger Caillois  put it. In Kassandra, the reference to nature is [very] present (rain, thunder on tape), but it is in fact an imaginary concrete. It is a hypothetical nature, with an ambiguous status, as is also the consonant harmony, expanding at the beginning of the string quartet Moires.

              Costin Cazaban, Le Monde de la musique, July-August 1999

The latest release from a composer we always enjoy coming back to...the very beautiful Moires performed by the Arditti Quartet.
