AMA Lga
AMA Lga is a work composed specifically for TOTEM Contemporain's first electroacoustic competition. It is a relatively short piece that tries to put forward the variety of timbres and sound objects that are offered by the TOTEM instruments. Rather than limiting itself to a specific musical discourse, AMA Lga finds its coherence within a multitude of influences: sometimes acousmatic, sometimes ambient, and it even slightly explores noise and beat elements.
Very few sounds outside of the TOTEM library were used – the raw recordings are regularly juxtaposed or confronted to their treated versions. The timbral contrast is constant and allows to easily switch from a certain musical discourse to another. The piece was barely planned out in advance – the exercise solely focused on a desire to have fun with a quantity of extremely rich and diverse sounds.
The composition ranked as one of the eight finalists in the competition.
