The great contrast between the colours of the female voice and those of the transformed percussion sounds has given a certain importance to aesthetic ideas like warmth and cold, which have become dimensions in the work of composition. I should also mention the rhythmic dimension, which is defined by the use of the instruments’ original attacks.
