Movement 1 'Loneliness is a dubbed line'
Movement 2 'Blurry landscapes are a bunch of clear states of mind'
An exploration of continuity and balance reached either through continuous sounds (movement 1) or the accumulation of multiple discontinuous sounds (movement 2). Both movements want to create a state of balance and complementarity, aiming continuity from opposite sides.
The musicians are on a conversation with a prerecorded version of themselves. The first movement plays with resonances whereas the second one is based on short rhythmical cells to reach a discrete continuity.
