It can also mean &#8220;hollow.&#8221; The central image of the piece is a wide shot of the sea, a static plane with minute localized oscillations. Without the swell of crescendi, the action depends on short snippets of modal lines or soft polyrhythmic patterns that coalesce in textures of varying density. A series of interwoven duets, all based on the same microtonal mode, is underscored by metallic harmonies inspired by the blades of the mbira and the Fender Rhodes. Rather than large-scale drama, the focus is on tuning and sonority \u2014 prepared and retuned strings, a microtonal melodica, a seamless layer of sound provided by the electronics, composed of samples and field recordings, sometimes interacting dynamically with live instruments, all conspiring to create an atmosphere of directionless meandering, subtle shifts of color on a flat seascape.<br><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<center>\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/center>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><i>Creux<\/i> was commissioned by GMEM-CNCM-Marseille and Ensemble C Barr\u00e9.
