On the day of the concert, there were no empty seats.

I watched the whole concert, but I still

wanted to make up my understanding of percussion music by consulting materials. Here are my
feelings as a layman

1.Alvin Lucier - Silver Streetcar for the Orchestra

Kaja Farszky, percussions
The whole music is a smooth octave of the triangle iron. The sound color of the triangle iron is
constantly changing, and the intensity changes. The transition between changes requires a 20-30
transition, which deduces all the sound attributes of the triangle iron，I can clearly see that the player
uses his index finger to change the timbre
2.Mark Applebaum – Aphasia
Simon Florin, percussions
Reminds me of renaissance incantations wherein a series of complex movements and utterances
were aggregated to summon spirits and perform miracles. Amazing, too, to watch the rhythm of the
piece unfold and think about whether the performer is composing the sound, or the sound is composing
the performer. or, maybe, as is the case with incantations, a little of both is happening. Live
performance is very interesting, which is a very novel experience for me
3.Max Charue – Por suerte (aún) hay videos de gatos para reír (création 2022)
Sergio Bejarano, Noa Bruxelmane & Rémy Charles, percussions
Naé Gillerot, direction
And
4.Fanny Libert – Quiproquo (création 2022)
Max Charue, Kaja Farszky & Simon Florin, percussions
This work is very interesting to me,What impressed me most was a stick like strip, which seemed
soft. The player waved them and made a sound, like the wind whistling, like the whistle, and many
other instruments echoed each other
5.Laura Résimont – (Il y a la Terre, le Ciel, ét les) Pléiades (création 2022)
Max Charue, Kaja Farszky & Simon Florin, Ensemble21
Sergio Bejarano, Noa Bruxelmane & Rémy Charles, étudiants d'ARTS2
Marc Collet, direction
I think this program is the most beautiful of the concert. Like his title, it seems to describe the
universe, all kinds of celestial bodies, shining, full of reverberation, spatial sense, giving everyone an
unprecedented sense of tranquility
6.Valentin Anciaux – My Year of Rest and Relaxation Under the Manhattan Bridge
(création 2022)
Max Charue, Kaja Farszky & Simon Florin, Ensemble21
Sergio Bejarano, Noa Bruxelmane & Rémy Charles, étudiants d'ARTS2Noé Gillerot, direction
After reading this work, I feel very relaxed and happy. The color of the whole work is very
appropriate, as if it depicts a wonderful life
7.lannis Xenakis – Okho pour trio de percussions
Max Charue, Kaja Farszky & Simon Florin, percussions
Interesting arrangement,here is sounds made with the hands not sticks. Most people in the audience
hardly know it, so just enjoy it and are pretty forgiving of the odd mistake or unusual interpretation in
dynamics, tempo, style etc
