23 VANESSA WAGNER You’ve constructed this narrative from short independent stories. That means you have to set up one mood in a few minutes, then move on to another and, at the same time, confer dramatic coherence on this sequence of pieces. I love these changes of atmosphere, which remind me of spring days when you can see the sky adorned with many different lights and colours as the hours go by! It corresponds so well to my own personality, since I’m a moody person, accustomed to moving from joy to melancholy, from light-heartedness to contemplation. And that’s something I find this in these highly contrasting cycles, where you have to create an atmosphere for each piece in an instant. In a sense, they mirror my states of mind. I started by recording more pieces than would fit onto the album before picking some out and thinking up an order corresponding to the narrative trajectory I wanted to follow. All the landscapes described by the composers on this album seem to me like the successive entries in a vast personal diary.
