This program is conceived as a journey through works of various aesthetics and rhetoric, but united by their theatricality and by a common question of instrumental poetics: how to think, compose and play the trumpet in a chamber musician spirit, dressing it for a role that has often been foreign to him?

Throughout his studies at the Paris Conservatory, Noé Nillni has constantly reworked his sound palette in order to adapt it to small musical spaces. He conducted a joint research with composers to imagine new places to reveal the different faces of his instrument, whose versatility is still unknown. These new, more intimate settings offer an instrument often accustomed to long distances the possibility of a face-to-face meeting with the cello, or in a trio with the flute and clarinet or voice.

Mutes, new instrumental invoices (including a trumpet with two flags), multiphonic sound research, real-time electronic processing … are some of the ways that have made it possible to open new perspectives to the instrument, at the service of weddings of unheard timbres.

The five works that make up this album are conceived, in their succession, as five small theaters, staging instruments and voices in a society of characters where the roles are redistributed.
