« Tossed Parachutes of Lilacs and Lungs » found itself in a period of my life where I sought moments of spirituality, in the bell hooks sense of it. Each word from the title is presented in its own way, collected in five distinctive tableaux, showcasing moments of personal wonders, either through vivid images or simply through a resonance that stirred something inside me. I always had an inclination towards multiplicity, which this piece doesn’t stray away from. The multiples here came to me in the day-to-day small wonders. I leave here a few of them:
; the poetry of Nicky Beer
; the taste of clementines on the tongue
; the strings of the Kora
; the tip of an icy mountain
; the faded light on green leaves
The piece is dedicated to George Lewis and the International Contemporary Ensemble.
