After the first experiments carried out with SOFT ORGANIC MUSIC #1 in Brittany, Stéphane Payen continues his study of the rules which govern collective musical games including an element of improvisation. This second part is structured around 7 pieces each offering game rules (like in a board game) and specific scenarios. Thus each performer has a set of conventions creating a multifaceted musical game; the rules of “behavior” of one influence the “behavior” of the other. The form created thanks to everyone’s reactions is always renewed, improvised with each interpretation. In order to focus the listening of the performers AND the audience on the musical conversation taking place live, the dynamic of all the pieces is constant: pianissimo. It is on other musical parameters that the dialogue is built, on the swarm of pitches and/or timbres which circulate from one instrument to another and on the organic, unforeseen and incredible transformation of this swarm. What makes music is the decision made by the artist in his interpretation of the rules and the impact of this decision on the decision-making of other performers. And to take up the question posed in 1972 by meteorologist Edward Lorenz during a conference at the American Association for the Advancement of Science: “Can the flapping of a butterfly’s wings in Brazil cause a tornado in Texas? »… No tornado in the context of SOFT ORGANIC MUSIC #2 but an unpredictable final artistic object, the result of the successive choices of everyone.
