Après Danaos explores the ambiguity of a song that seems to offer itself but conceals its own disruption. The writing rests on a polyphony of breaths and harmonic whirlings that, beneath their apparent clarity, hide a mechanism of drift. The flutes act as voices alike but never identical, replicating, diffracting, distancing. In a shimmering of unstable unisons and imperceptible modulations, transparency masks underlying unrest. What appears clear becomes troubled ; what seems offered conceals its own trap. The work flows like a bottomless barrel – an infinite cycle, a gesture to be repeated, a song emptied of its certainty.
