Météores is a brand new piece for percussion, born from a deep reflection on the natural sonic identity of metal pitched instruments within the percussion family. These instruments : vibraphone, crotales, cowbells, etc... each carry within them an extraordinary acoustic world that is too often taken for granted, overshadowed by the complexity of the music written for them.
The central question driving this work is deceptively simple: what does metal truly sound like, when we simply let it be?
Rather than seeking new extended techniques or unconventional approaches, Météores embraces the opposite philosophy entirely. It is precisely through conventional playing, the clean, honest strike of a mallet, the natural resonance that follows, the unaltered decay of the tone, that these instruments reveal their most profound and intimate beauty.
A météore is not simply a rock hurtling through space, it is a phenomenon of transformation. It is matter encountering atmosphere, friction generating light, something ancient becoming briefly, brilliantly visible before fading into silence.
