L’arsenale aims to bridge the divide between writing music and making music, between conceiving a sound and the gesture needed to produce that sound, between the lifetime of a sound and the space it lives and dies in.

...I really must congratulate you once more on your work and on the commitment shown in tackling a variety of music, often differing greatly in itself and calling for highly-differentiated techniques and aesthetic attitudes. I think your choice of repertoire is also admirable. Working alongside the composer is a good way for both to develop together, penetrating deep inside the musical ideas of the individual works: useful not only for yourselves but for the composer too.
