about

Philippe Hurel (born in 1955) is a French composer of orchestral and chamber music. His musical mentors include Betsy Jolas, Ivo Malec, and Tristan Murail. Hurel is primarily interested in systems, and restructuring harmonic spectre with rhythmic nuances inspired by Jazz.

Loops 1 was written in 1999 for solo flute and is the first of a series of “Loop” pieces that center around the idea of additive and subtractive rhythmic and melodic loops. This work is in three movements, each centered around a single motivic “loop” that is introduced at the beginning of the movement. Hurel writes:

“I start with little rhythmic motifs that are repeated and transformed as they progress. In fact, they are simple formulas which, by adding or taking away from themselves, end up creating further loops. What fascinates me is that between two loops, there is the way you arrive and the way you leave. The procedure itself matters little.

The loops fascinate me because they involve repetition, and repetition fascinates me because it is the basis of all transformation in time. In this work, the principle is pushed to the extreme.”
