Abstract

Looking at Richter¹s Spiegel, Grau [Mirror Painting (Grey)] was like peering into a portal, on the other side of which was a more sombre, more unstable version of reality. It provoked me towards a kind of nostalgia, a longing for an imagined or poorly-remembered past, and I immediately thought of Erik Satie's gymnopédies. They became the inspiration for this musical fragment.
