La terre, l’air, le feu et l’eau sont les quatre éléments fondamentaux de la nature. Mais du confort de nos maisons, pouvons-nous vraiment comprendre ce qui arrive dans l’horreur des conflits? La terre est déchirée, le vent souffle glacial, le feu détruit les maisons et il n’y a plus d’eau potable. Cette musique est faite à partir de râteaux, de gourdes et de maraccas et de tambours du Zimbabwe. Elle est dédiée aux victimes. |

Earth, Air, Fire, Water: the four fundamental elements of nature. But from the comfort of our homes can we really understand what happens in the horrors of conflict? The earth is scorched, the wind blows cold, fire destroys homes, it rains and yet there is no clean water to drink. The music in Frictions has been developed from the sounds of rattles, gourd instruments and maracas I obtained in Zimbabwe and Brazil, as well as fricative sounds from a set of African drums. We might just hear the voices crying from afar if we listen hard enough. This work is dedicated to the victims. |
