"Syllepsis" is a solo album of contemporary instrumental music created in mixed, improvised and composed technique, with
the prepared uvi-ircam piano.

The soundscape of this album can be compared to creations by Derek Bailey, Fred Frith, John Cage, Benoit Delbecq, Sophie Agnel.

"The syllepse, from the ancient Greek: σύλληψις, súllēpsis, literally" action to take together, to embrace, to understand ", is a figure of speech by which speech responds to thought rather than to grammatical rules. It is sometimes faulty, sometimes accepted and lexicalized. The syllepse is also a trope which combines the concrete, proper meaning of a word and its figurative meaning. It has its origins in the synthetic spirit of language, in its natural dynamism capable of establishing instantaneous relationships between ideas. »Wikipedia
