Program Notes

Avant (french) adverb (time): before; noun : in front (of ); There are things that however much you wish are not possible. Real-time electronics, as the name suggests, is the simultaneity and interdependence between the instruments and electronics. In fewer words: electronics comes at the same time (or after) the instrument. Never before. It would be a paradox, a digital processing before the sound event that has not happened yet. A time before time... The music you will hear deals with completely different issues.
