about

This trilogy is dedicated to and inspired by the contents found in the Tao te king, the basic short initiatory text of the Taoist tradition. The common thread is "metamorphosis." The final quotation is contained, in the “Chuang tzu”.

The first metamorphosis depicts the Mysterious Female, the immortal spirit of the valley. She who shows herself but is faceless and nameless. She cannot be heard. She cannot be touched. She is an invisible presence. Opening. Generator furrow. Mother of the ten thousand beings. From her is born the mixture Sky-Earth. Heaven, light and transparent; earth, solid and heavy.

The second metamorphosis is dedicated to the sky, which shows itself linear, light and vaporous. It is a subtle, luminous element. It contains dust and clouds. The Infinite sky gathers all the horizons poised between the finite and the infinite. Metamorphoses are generated by the mixture of air, light, dust, and clouds. The sky generates feelings of freedom through its dilations and formlessness. It feeds the spirit in man.

In the third metamorphosis, Our earth, the beating, concrete and material forms of metals generate the heaviest sounds. Earth is a dense and consistent force. It can inspire the stillness that is generated by stability. Changes are slower, conditioned by gravity. It fuels the body in man.

"These sounds confusingly imitate the living spreading everywhere and are like the music of the forest that has no matter. They propagate and manifest effortlessly; they resonate dark and silent; they move out of space, resting in the dark depths." Chuang tzu

Language of the music becomes a language of the body. The spirit of sound becomes the absolute spirit. There is no such thing as the musician. When he plays, he no longer knows who he is. ... more
