Description:
The first movement begins with mysterious chords, ethereal tones reminiscent of the first forays into spiritualism. The atmosphere is strange and unreal, reflecting the intangible presence of the Horlas. Dissonant motifs and a ghostly voice seem to call through the wind, conveying the eeriness of Guy de Maupassant's story Le Horla. This music, created for Henigma, a Swiss company for culture and entertainment, illustrates a role-playing game inspired by Le Horla. Through mystical and dark themes, it explores the boundaries between the real and the unseen and conveys the unique atmosphere of Maupassant's work.
