the flower of having passed through paradise in a dream<\/em> pour quatuor de saxophones, m\u00e9lodicas et \u00e9lectroniques, met en musique quatorze tableaux bas\u00e9 sur la po\u00e9sie de la po\u00e8te Emily Carr \u00e9tablie en Oregon, le tout en explorant les \u00e9crits philosophiques de Jos\u00e9 Esteban Mu\u00f1oz sur l\u2019\u00e9ph\u00e9m\u00e9ralit\u00e9 et temporalit\u00e9s queer. La pi\u00e8ce combine des \u00e9pith\u00e8tes et des r\u00e9alit\u00e9s luisantes au travers divers lieux temporels, o\u00f9 pass\u00e9, pr\u00e9sent, futur et artefacts sonores s’embrassent \u00e0 travers des unit\u00e9s fragment\u00e9es.

the flower of having passed through paradise in a dream <\/em>for saxophone quartet, melodicas and electronics sonically sets fourteen tableaux inspired by the poetry of Oregon-based poet Emily Carr, delving as well into Jos\u00e9 Esteban Mu\u00f1oz’s philosophical approach of ephemerality through queer temporalities. The piece combines epithets and glistering realities of various temporal orders where past, present, future and sonic artifacts melt together through fragmented units.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
