INSTRUMENTATION   >>

- 6 very large and resonant Chimes:
   Wood (hard, avoid the bamboo),
   Bamboo (medium high*) * For instance the KOLBERG Bamboo wind-chimes, medium "Naruko", only the highest 28 tubes.,
   Metal (cans for instance, organized by low, medium and high ranges, avoid the typically used scale-organized Wind chimes racks),
   Stone (may be replaced by additional irregular chimes if necessary),
   Glass (lamp bulbs for instance, organized by low, medium and high ranges, avoid the typically used scale-organized Wind chimes racks),
   Seashell (including very thin, smooth and delicate range as well as medium and lower one).
   ALL must resonate long.
  
- 5 Temple blocks

- 8 Cymbals: Hi-hat (with Pedal set on half open), 1 Orchestra heavy cymbal, 22" (inches) cymbal, 18" cymbal, 16" cymbal, 16" Rived cymbal, 12" Splash cymbal and 10" Splash cymbal.
   These dimensions represent the suggestion of a scale and may be adapted freely.

- 3 Tam-tams: very high, med. high and (med.) low

- 7 Skins or Drums for example, consisting of; 3 Bongos (very high, high and medium**), 3 Tom-toms (high, medium and (very) low) and Bass drum (particularly resonant).
    This instrument distribution represents the suggestion of a scale and may be adapted freely.
    ** The medium one may be replaced with a Chinese drum "Low Pitch Battle Drum" for instance.

PROGRAM NOTE
Purple is a general term for the range of shades of colour occurring between red and blue. If we consider the red as the human passion and the blue a mysticism-oriented colour then the purple position in between would be (ideally) the magic gate in between. Through a high level of excitement and virtuosity I wanted this piece to spread the huge amount of energy, vibrations and wishes raised by the performer.
Would it be (musically) possible to pass "through the door" ?

COMMENTS  
Warning ! Although it is not explicitly wished to break glass bulbs during the performance, so many bulbs were broken during the rehearsals that it is absolutely part of the piece characteristics now. Ya-Hsin CHENG made it in such spectacular and cute way during her preliminary round performance for the Geneva Competition 2009 that it quickly appeared an opportunity to show it instead of hide it. Aesthetically it corresponds to Alin Gherman's (permanent) experimental approach.
Moreover, the specific noise produced by the breaking glass could be considered as a prolongation of the simultaneously played cymbal.   
(Conclusion : You may break glass bulbs BUT ONLY if the glass chimes were NOT made by the composer ! Go on !)

の日本語

「紫」は赤と青の中間色をさす。
赤が人間の情熱的な感情をあらわす色、青が神秘的な色だとすると、紫はその間の、魔法の橋のような位置にある（理想的には）。
この曲では非常に大きなエネルギー、バイブレーション、そして希求する心を発信するように、演奏者には高いレベルでのパワーの持続と音楽的テクニックが要求される。
音楽的な意味で、「ドアを通り抜ける」ことは可能だろうか？
ジュネーブ国際音楽コンクール２００９とPROヘルヴェティア、スイス文化財団により委嘱。エディシオン・パピヨン社（スイス、ジュネーブ）出版。
２つの独立した部分（それのみで演奏可能）は、第一部と第三部がもとになっていて、「紫の儀式」から抜粋したものである。
——シンバル・ヴィタミン（第一部の長いバージョン）
——ダンス、　今にも降る雨の下で（第三部のみ）

    - 1 Tam-tam:: medium high    

PROGRAM NOTE  
Metal spirits III is a special superposition of Metal spirits I and Metal spirits II. One piece is like the negative of the other one. The idea of superposing both pieces came after the related video clips were produced.
Although in the first video clip only two musicians play the piece, for a concert performance four players are necessary.
The material of the study is conceived on the ideas of impact and resonance. The metallic timbres are in the foreground, but are also expanded by the presence of special chimes that have a "guest"role. (Glass chimes, Stone chimes)

PROGRAM NOTE
„Haute tension“ (=“High tension”) was composed during a tensional period of my life. I wanted to transpose this potential energy on musical percussive instruments and search a certain beauty and interest in the “danger”. The situation of discomfort gives a special “alert” power and the outburst remains uncertain. The visual aspect of the musicians being under pressure is very important and adds a second dramatic layer to the piece. The music is made by the visible tensions and the sounds.

COMMENTS
As the Voltafilm videoclip shows, the musicians play with a CLICK (through headphones) and therefore they do not have any visual contact.
It has been noticed that for this piece in particular, this technical parameter makes the musicians even more alerted and thus interesting to watch by audience.

PROGRAM NOTE
Café-mélange is an audio moment for a good mood :-). It is designed as a compact music with choreographic elements capable to spread out energy for nice people. The musicians are linked to the dark drink by the coffee maker which is on the stage. The blended mixture of sound and warm smell create a relaxed atmosphere. The mechanic processes components of the machine had an important influence on the instrumental part. Composed in dark Polish winter to stimulate musicians and audience to push out clouds and depressions.
An audio moment with musical integration of coffee smell, machine's noise and cups.

PROGRAM NOTE
   Baignée dans un climat instable, la pièce exhibe une sentimentalité excentrique et bariolée à mon goût. Il est question entre autres de jeux, de surprises et d'extases dans un décor sonore entraînant mêlé à des parfums sucrés déjà connus. Cependant, la contemplation de la Rose est également teintée d'angoisses voire une certaine agressivité, comme dans l'introduction et la coda par exemple.
