Editor's info:
It all begins in a quest for original meaning (Greek: etymon). What is there before the word and what is it that shapes language? And finally, what is it that permits us to transcend language? In the beginning was pre-language, its premises. Etymo, a work with 'great white wings', begins in the first babbling of language, in phonemes. Nothing intelligible, alliterations that roll and slide (or sail) and an orchestra that seems suspended, as though it were waiting. These phonetic and musical particles aggregate in contrapuntal superposition, finally exploding in a sea of profundity from which the first words rise.
Just like Baudelaire, Luca Francesconi appears to be crying out in the apparent stasis in the middle of the work: 'The beautiful life! The beautiful life!' Then everything is reversed in a mirror process, with the energy being reborn of its own antimatter, or perhaps of its memory.
