Summary of This Score

In girum imus nocte et consumimur igniis part of a reflection on the objectification of musical forms from the past, recontextualized in light of the necessities of the current musical situation. The piece organizes a deliberately fragile coexistence between gestures that are a priori incompatible, carried by a haunting antiphony and marked expressive tension, ultimately embracing a pessimistic color that is an integral part of the work.

The instrumental part relies heavily on prolation canon techniques, while the sung part evokes the horizon of organum. The computer, active during the concert, plays a revelatory role: it highlights what would remain latent without this relationship. Technology is therefore not an ornament but a tool for emphasizing and structuring listening, serving a rigorously constructed musical discourse.

The sung text is taken from the philosophical poem La Véritéby D.-A.-F. de Sade, featuring the central aphorism "La crainte fit les dieux et l'espoir les soutint" ("Fear made the gods and hope sustained them"). Fragments of spoken texts, drawn from the complete works of Guy Debord, are designed to be understood in concert situations without being reproduced in the score; they contribute to a direct, uncompromising artistic stance, "not intended to please."

Composed in memory of Guy Debord, this score is aimed at performers seeking a contemporary repertoire where precision of writing, reinterpreted medieval heritage, and controlled stage setup meet in a coherent sonic dramaturgy, intended for the ensemble and the haute-contre voice.
