Passage I – for guitar

duration: around 5′

in memoriam my friend Patrick Ruby

the « Passages » were composed from a series of paintings of Philippos Vazakas on the eternal theme of the door (this may be a window, a bridge, a narrow street …): an opening on the wide world; an invitation to discovery, curiosity, surprise, to overcome our fears, to trust in the « other », to knock on the door just to know who will open to me and look behind what hides to our eyes but also our minds and souls. Each of these pieces is written for an instrument or a particular combination as many variations on this eternal theme, I imagined them in the continuation of traditional music echoing the paintings that represent old wooden doors where time continues to pass.
