L’OrphiCube is an orchestra with variable geometry: six permanent musicians, maintaining the structural rigidity, accompanied by a choice of three voices, each inclined to colour the edifice in its own way. Through this, I want our forensic execution to be transformed by a freshness and a new light each time, for us to condense a whole world of colour in every bar of our music.

Taking inspiration from the cubist painter Robert Delaunay (who wanted to translate the impressions left on the retina by light after staring at the moon and sun), I want to create a type of music which immediately expresses the sum of the sound memories resting in each of us, reminiscences of the music that forms the soundtracks of our lives.

A fleeting glimpse of the soundtrack of an imaginary film.

L’OrphiCube est un orchestre à géométrie variable : six musiciens fixes, gardiens de la solidité architecturale, accompagnés de trois voix renouvelables, enclines à colorer l’édifice. Je veux ainsi qu’à chaque fois une fraîcheur et un éclairage nouveau viennent bousculer une exécution millimétrée, que nous concentrions un monde de couleurs dans chaque mesure de notre musique.
À l’instar du peintre cubiste Robert Delaunay qui voulait traduire les impressions laissées par la lumière sur sa rétine après avoir regardé fixement la lune et le soleil, je souhaite restituer une musique qui exprime immédiatement la somme des souvenirs acoustiques ancrés en chacun de nous, réminiscences de la musique que forment les bandes-son de nos existences.

Une perception instantanée de la bande originale d’un film imaginaire.
