Program Note
A light beating of wings, from which microcosms, very distant worlds, abrupt tugs spring up like a domino effect. Temporary windows, silences and brutal sound walls.
Excruciating screams that rip and tear until they find an unexpected peace. Writhing in a thousand folds, until it settles placidly in a teeming magma. Until it goes out among lapilli of light.
