Canticum Tremulum
All sounds in Canticum Tremulum are played with ambiguous articulations, like messa di
voce, rapid arpeggio, using many kind of mutes, etc. This is because I believe that nobody
can realize really "clear" or "straight" sounds like notes clearly written in scores. The most
important thing for me was turning my eyes to hidden articulations on the music score, for
example what is happening in just the beginning of the sound or at the real extinguishing
moment of the resonance… nobody can point them out.
