LIPSTICK for amplified flute/alto flute and boombox [1998] was written for Eleonore
Pameijer. The visual, repetitive aspect of these unfolding sculptures has been translated in musical echoes. The soundtrack is based on ready-made audio from American talk shows: desperate conversations about human relationships, and an interview with Billie Holiday, in which she recites the text of her favorite song 'Don't explain', about a woman deceived by her lover: 'Skip that lipstick - And I know you cheat -- And what love endures' A relation therapist with a heavy French accent says: 'You are jumping all those hoops', referring to the
chaotic life of the desperate talk show guests. Lipstick has three movements: fast - slow - fast.
