program note:
The French title, meaning “Blue Strife” in English, originates from a Chinese character which means silence. It is furthermore composed with two Chinese characters meaning blue and strife. The composer caught this poetic metaphor in a narrow sense, as the silence of the material world, yet invisibles are working. Movements, transformations, modulations, or frictions of energy behind silence, are important motives of this music.
In various aspects of the composition, the OpenMusic software was utilized to design and process complex musical materials in the score. Some of the electroacoustic sounds in this piece were created in advance using Max/MSP and AudioSculpt, then edited in Pro Tools. In this process the composer tried to realize a new interpretation of the instrumental synthesis by Gérard Grisey. These pre-processed sounds are played back simultaneously synchronized with the cello performance, along with some real-time signal processed sounds of the instrument.
This piece was realized at IRCAM in 2000 during the course of composition and computer music.
