    • Duration: 7 min.

      This music is built around a rhythm chasing that develops itself into an harmonic spiral cycle. Alternatively, each marimba speaks feeding the fairly linear shape of the music by a succession of rhythmic and syncopated elements, with an ostinato melodic counterpoint. The resolution of this perpetual movement ends with a temporal increase in each cell with an ending longer each time. At the very ending, the small initial theme is superposing in this complex interweaving.
