La piece s'inspire egalement de l'interpretation de la genese du monde telle qu'abordee dans les anciens livres japonais, ou la premiere divinite creee une deuxieme entite pensee comme un <>. C'est a partir de l'harmonie de ces deux etres que naitront par la suite les nombreux esprits lies a la cosmogonie japonaise. J'ai repris cette image dans ma piece, ou une sorte de note contenue dans l'ostinato percussif du violoncelle (<>) sera revelee progressivement par une note tiree et vibree au second violon. Cette vibration, qui s'accentue dans le discours devient a la fois une <> reprise par l'alto et des glissandi joues au premier violon. D'apres certaines etudes, le rythme et la melodie ne stimulent pas les memes zones du cerveau, cette construction permet ainsi l'emergence d'une communaute de quatre differentes personnalites qui s'observent les unes les autres ; elles arrivent a imaginer, a anticiper et meme a participer a la realisation des comportements des autres, par un processus propre au fonctionnement du cerveau nomme <>.

This work is part of a cycle of five short pieces for a single instrument and piano, focused on the five ages in the cosmogony of Ancient Mexican civilisation. The peoples of the Mexican highlands believe that time follows specific cycles and that the world was created following the pattern of 'trial and error'. The creation of the world is divided into several periods which are termed 'suns' (we are currently living in the fifth phase named 'Ollin'). Each period will be brought to an end through a natural catastrophe.Solei-Feu refers to the first attempt to create a world out of a rain of fire (nahui quiahuitl).The element of fire is reflected in the musical soundscape of this work, constructed from rampant, rhythmic motifs, fragmented splinters, spinning upswings and impacts reverberating through space. An intimate dialogue develops between violin and piano on the basis of extremely simple figures. Interconnecting lines and dense musical material are thrown against each other in a play of contrasting registers and blended tonal colouring, creating a mysterious and disturbing mythological universe coloured by its ontological pessimism.
