CONCEPT. It is the garden of still and sweet water, inhabited by vapors and mists, where the willow, palms and magnolias are reflected. It is a hybrid being that would like to be more marine, more alpine, more windy, more Mediterranean, but is content with wisteria. He wants to be loved for what cannot be, but he has the charm of possibilities and changes hidden beneath the surface.
It is the place of doubt, of the emerging desire suffocated by uncertainty. You wonder if it is not better to forget it, this trap garden, to try to escape elsewhere by tearing those ties that, enveloping you like algae, will make you sad making you foresee your destiny, in an endless cycle of dreams and renunciations.

GENERAL NOTE.
15 canons deriving directly from a single original canon or 15 parts of a great canon?
15 CANONS NO. 1 are the overture of a work in 8 parts.
15 monochromatic canons (or parts of one canon), scored for 16 vibraphones and electronics, that multiply the game of delays and mirrors of each canon, introduce us to the mysterious world of LACUSTRINE GARDEN.
Sweetish waters, vapors and mists; willows, palm, magnolias and wisterias.
LACUSTRINE GARDEN, the charm of changes under the surface.
