Descrizione

Aerial Views attempts to describe four aspects of the same musical object, seen from different angles and under different lights. Contemporary art has accustomed us to these kinds of perspectives, of which Monet was the precursor with his series of Rouen Cathedrals and Haystacks. The initial "object" is actually at the heart of the third part of the piece: it is revealed there, head-on, under a clear light. It is the only moment when the horn is heard in all its fullness. Before and after, one will perceive distortions of this object.
It is actually the play of lights and shadows, the play of viewpoints revealing different realities, that forms the true subject of the score, just as Monet's subject is light more than the cathedral which serves as a revealer of this light.
Musically, this idea is expressed through the process of distortion, which applies to all aspects of the music: overall form, microstructures, harmonic spectra, durations. Like in a game of anamorphoses, the viewpoint constantly changes, producing variable but coherent colors by their common source.

The piece is therefore divided into four "aspects," or four moments, which could be described as
- morning light (clear light, very obtuse angles, maximum distortion),
- rain light (blur effects, more closed angles, lighter distortion),
- noon light (bright light, frontal viewpoint, no distortion),
- evening light (warm light, long shadows, strong distortion).

Each of the four parts itself breaks down into three phases
- waiting phase (increasing tension),
- central object,
- fall (release of tension).

What can be compared to the structure of a musical sound: attack, sustain, decay. These phases are each of unequal length, just as the shadow of an object shortens and lengthens with the hours of the day (long wait for the morning light, long fall for the evening light).
The horn has a particular role: it only really intervenes in the central phases of each section. It will be heard mostly, in its full strength, as a soloist, in the third section (noon light) – before, it will be veiled by the mute, after, it will mostly play stopped notes.
