Cóncrete concréte
Brick clay cóncrete
determined material concréte
cello cellist hello
cóncrete concréte

the concrete relationship I was searching for was that between the cello and the tubes playing with them in the same way yet in a different way but
playing together
letting the concréte materiality of the one into the other

concretély
a concréte image to feel the lightness of cóncrete

but maybe the stone the tone the sound that's concréte a cóncrete way to let the same gravity that glues all objects to the ground that sheer force that let my arms be played through the tubes gravity through the tubes into the cello play the tubes let the tubes play the cello let the cello play
