About this composition:

IMEB’s Commission 1987. Définitive version: 1997.

"Among Divinities, witness of Universe creation by Brahma’s sacred breath, there was a little God who was living upon the Moon. One day, after his siesta, not quite awakend yet, his consciousness floating along his legendary absentmindedness, he left a sigh heaved, which became the Creator Breathwhich are possessing all big and small Gods. To his great surprise, the very essence of all elements slowly came to life with their proper potential circumstances, that is to say not revealed yet, the essence of the very small universe, in proportion with its size. Its fright turned into panic when the no-revealed suddenly reached to the revealed. Then, faced with the extent of his lack of attention (because he well knew that creating a world requires a total conscieousness together with a total responsability, all things he was unable to get), he breathed in, as swiftly as he could, as swiftly as the moving energy could allow it, that elementary essence until making it disappear ...! Ouf !... Afler such thoughtlessness, he moved at his uncle Saturne for holidays... in view to put some heavy stuff into his own brain with Saturne help".
