Angèle David-Guillou - Desert Stilts

"I started working on “Desert Stilts” as I was looking into odd metric changes and Baroque rhythms. At the same time I was reading a passage of Gurdjieff’s book ‘Meetings With Remarkable Men’, in which himself and a group of friends are crossing a desert. There is suddenly a terrible sandstorm and the team of adventurers are stopped in their track. After a while they decide, as one does, to walk on stilts. High from the ground, the air is clear and windless and they can walk without any problem across the desert whilst the storm is raging below.
I love this fable for its beautiful metaphoric meaning but also because it is totally absurd and told with great wit and humour. Peace is achieved through determination, light-heartedness and absurdity. I love this combination of the serious and the absurd and I wanted to translate that into music."
