Chants de captivité

— May 2024

The Chants de captivité represent seven ‘visions’ brought back from my visits to Clairvaux prison in 2008 and 2009. Fugitive visions, as Prokofiev would say, but interior, elegiac, between the real and the imaginary: the seven pieces are composed from an ostinato, an implacable figure of time, from which emanates a song, in spite of everything, against all odds.
