[14.X.2004], 40 min.  
First performance: Leuven, Transit Festival, 24.10.2004

Conductor: Dirk Vandaele

Tenor Recorder: Suzanne Frölich   -   Guitar: Tom Pauwels   -   Violin: David Nunez

Piano: Kim Vandenbrempt   -   Live Engineering and Sound Recording: Yannick Willox with Audiomulch®

Orchestra:

   Strings (10-8-6-6-2)

   Recorders (2-2-2-2)

   Keyboards (1 piano and 2 synthetisers)

   Percussions (3 players – Cimbals, Wood Blocks, Drums and small material)

   Guitar (12 acoustic – 2 electric and 1 bass guitar)

Explanations to perform:

Manimatrix is a unbuilt puzzling work. First, the Conductor has to assemble parts with the 64 sections I composed.

These pieces are presented in seven categories: MINIMATRIX (instrument solo) – SOLI (chamber Music) – TRIO – MATRIX  (Quartet) – MAXIMATRIX (Quintet) – ORCHESTRA SEQUENZA (to every category of instruments) – TUTTI.

All the material must not be used and the same piece can be played twice or more. And combinaison is free, even if a lot of pieces are superposed, even if tempo are differents?
