Portrait Maresz II

Ensemble Court-circuit Yan Maresz. Luis Fernando Rizo-Salom. Diana Soh

The style of Yan Maresz - fluidity, interlacing lines, harmonic vivacity - is found throughout his works produced at IRCAM, each one opening a new artistic and technological perspective. From its opening note, Metallics calls upon our memories, those of Miles Davis or of Baroque concertos. As a Cursus student, Maresz imagined a short story of the trumpet using variations of multiple mutes; a musical study that has become a part of the repertoire of numerous soloists.

Ten years later, in 2004, Sul Segno for plucked strings and electronics, marks the epitome of sonorous refinement, a resonating world revealed through computer analysis of instrumental sounds and the trajectory of their attack.
