POÈMES

STEREO (1988)

Poèmes is a composition about musical language and its various forms of expression, comprising exclusively synthetic sounds. The compositional balancing act between so-called new music and cliché-tinged echoes of everyday life is quite intentional. Music expresses itself in many different ways.
