Enième
Patrick Ascione
Programme notes
In my experience, composing an acousmatic piece begins with a difficult challenge
In that regard, I have always felt that starting a new piece was like placing a bet, because you find yourself having to breathe life and meaning into these initial elements, wild elements that have neither context nor musical history…
This piece represents both my umpteenth attempt in this vein and the moment where I became aware of this issue.
— Patrick Ascione [English translation
