Additional info/contents	Zoom - The eyes, just as the moving focus mechanism of a camera, capture an initial subject: hectic, thrilling, impassioned human life. - One then attempts to zoom in the direction of the sky, that cosmic infinity that is out of reach for our imagination when encountering starry nights. - A third adjustment brings one closer to nature, through the sounds of the wind passing through  leaves, or the different calls, cries, or whispers of the animal world. This musing ends with a lyrical poem, a quiet ode, in which the zooming effects are stabilized by reality. Technical explanations to the 3rd mouvement: a) crumple paper sheets to recreate the wind's effects on leaves. Use additional performers if required for acoustic balance. b) the bird call instruments are given to five or six performers located in different places in the brass band. c) spoken choir (not in the instrument) whispering the notated sound recreations (tsss..., lelele...). d) air blown notes through the instrument: in the designated pitches, the air blown notes are audible. Intonation is slightly modified, but this is not important. Do not over blow. Jean-François Michel, septembre 2014, Courtepin, Switzerland
