Puzzle is the culminating throw of a residency done by the group Workshop Instrumental at the CIRM. Workshop Instrumental is a modular general impression that explores how today's symphonious instruments change through their association with the capabilities offered by new technologies, while empowering the soloist with signifying gestural control in the electronic dominion. This control remains within the kingdom of instrumental technique developed by the doer. Therefore, a new type of musician, expositor, or producer, emerges: one who controls the acoustic and electronic aspects, in absolute time, within a living design.

Portraits: Composed mostly in collaboration with the instrumentalist using improvised whole recordings, they form the "genetic card" of the musician and his tool in a short span of duration. Playable in the normal way, these portraits work for as the reference, as instrumental links from the acoustic to the electronic. (...)
Solos: Two pattern solos build an inverted build a bridge over from electroacoustics to the living instrumentalist. A few elements from the whole matter are captured through this middling that allow for the creation of playing modes peculiar of the electronic keyboard in substantial time. Michel Pascal, CD liner notes.
