EMET

 

EMET is a hebrew word with magical propriety of enlivening lifeless matter. The simple meaning of this word is “the truth“. Great magicians, masters of Qaballah, used to write EMET on creatures made of clay or wood, called Golems. The only way to stop the Golem, to destroy him, was to erase the first letter of the written on his body EMET. Remaining MET ment “dead“. My piece is a kind of violin concerto, with a computer instead of an orchestra reacting like a living creature to the part of solo violin: sometimes it plays precisely what is written in the score, sometimes with the soloist’s and composer’s astonishment it makes new associations with the solo part. The violin sound is transformed in different ways which bring it near the electronic media. The first sound of solo part triggers an action. It vivifies the “dead“ computer. Afterwards it is really difficult to stop it.
