Dusapin - The cycle of seven forms at the Cité de la Musique


On March 27, 2009, the Liege Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Pascal Rophé gave the City of Music the entire cycle forms of Pascal Dusapin. It seems that this cycle is now complete, it has become over the years a symphonic work of great magnitude written and created over the years and whose total duration should be longer than 2 hours.

Dusapin's music his own, he gets a clean style with a complex method of writing based on a base material fairly simple, it really is not tonal, it seems you modal methods using scores of 4-5, but can coexist with others. It creates a original harmony, some contemplative, some moving with simple melodic lines that stretch or tangle.

It's nice to hear, there is a sense of music accessible but a bit monotonous. Dusapin claims a certain chaos in his music, I think it is included in elegant orchestrations that make it harmless. Go hand in simple patterns that will be disturbed, full on time dilation with variations on the grounds of Go seems you Apex is a complex construction of interlocking rhythms with spasms and a subtle harmony. It's always in good taste, I think Dusapin, he has invented something, invented political chaos. Carefully, he claims a work on music as a kind of physical matter that model physical phenomena playing on blistering, leveling, folds, fingerprints ... This is the basis of Clam. Sound waves that affect the stability and instability in Exeo.

There is a nice feeling, but also a sense of music essentially decorative. And quite repetitive if Dusapin claims every time a different method of writing, an opposition, a contradiction, a reversal ... Yet I seem to hear the same beautiful and mysterious from beginning to end.

Very nice performance
the orchestra of Liege.

No way to find this great cycle for orchestra or a party, but the Dusapin, there MusicMe on, for example the disk of the same family:
