The elements of this video are the ruins of a house for attracting birds, the first movement of the Quartet in F major by Maurice Ravel and then rain, wind, snow and fog. A long take presents, in a far-fetched sequence, the four meteorological elements which befall the different portions of the ruins. The four musical instruments, performing the quartet, cease to be an ensemble and become, individually, the audio tracks corresponding to each of weather. So the sound of the first violin drips as the rain, that one of the second violin is snow-muffled, the sound of the viola moves like the wind and that one of the cello reverberates like inside the fog.

Declaration
film director
“In this work are visible the causes of a change. The time of a metamorphosis is concentrated or accelerated by the simultaneity of its causes. Just as in music, in this video there are the different weather conditions to appear individually before reaching a far-fetched choral weather. The sound, become solid, undergoes climate agents.”
