The title implies 'all watching,' hinting to the mythological Greek Watchman Panoptes and 'opticon' for watching. This original contemporary composition opens with an unassuming docile theme. The transparency is rapidly replaced with driving tutti components that furiously depict a vividly punctuated theme. Reminiscent passive melodies interrupt occasionally, building to an uncompromising conclusi…

Par CURNOW JAMES.

Par MURAIL TRISTAN. Time and Again tente de rompre, partiellement, avec l'esthétique qui domine dans mes oeuvres précédentes, une esthétique de la continuité où la forme est structurée par des processus se déroulant en un flot presque ininterrompu. Ici, la forme musicale cherche à créer une architecture du temps plus complexe, qui joue de flash-backs, prémonitions, boucles..., comme si l'on se tro…
