Dictée

Description: Recording of Bernard Gagnon's Dictée for tape. The majority of the material was executed in real time. The instruments used are voice, a pencil, and also a few oscillator sounds. An oscillator provided a wave that was delayed by tape, and then turned into a voltage to modulate the early sound: a self-modulating delay loop. The piece is a reflection on the anxiety of first learning to write as well as on the degrees of the distances of the writing. The dictation comes from a loudspeaker, while t… more

Pourquoi t'as jeté ta pantoufle?

Description: Recording of Xavier Garcia's "Pourquoi t'as jeté ta pantoufle?" ("Why did you throw your slipper?"). Garcia asks the listener to do two things when listening to the piece: to pervert your listening and to find drama where there is none. To is done through both concrete listening (identifying the surrounding sound world, hearing external noise and understanding the "clues" -- this sound is read as the index of a causality.) and abstract "reduced" listening (listening to the thing for itself, de… more

Son recif

Description: Recording of Jacqueline Ozanne's "Son recif" for voice and tape. This piece comes from a work on the myth of the sirens and includes texts written on this theme in their original languages. As the singer/speaker repeats the story, it is crossed by the sounds of these languages, by songs that cannot continue, as well as successive states of emotion. The electroacoustic tape plays a constant dramatic role: sometimes worrisome, sometimes reassuring, sometimes enveloping presences, it continually i… more

Rosaces 4

Description: Recording of Jonty Harrison's Rosaces 4 for four amplified voices, stereo fixed medium and four-channel tape. For the tourist, Notre Dame de Chartres may be just one more 'sight' amongst the gothic cathedrals of northern France, only notable perhaps for having more of its original medieval glass than most of the others. But why are the three rosaces (rose windows) at the Chartres considered by experts to be amongst the hour greatest ever produced? Why is the building 46°54' off the normal west-… more

Noces noires

Description: To start, an order from the poet: it was a huge blow of heart. Say more? The beauty of the images of the text, the human sensibility of the poet, the restraint of the words and the tone of the voice, to imagine, to express, to make feel the passage to death and its reflection on us, the living. The music? At the service of the poem, in its traditional role of highlighting images and deep meaning, emotional support. After a first work of analysis and restructuring of the text by silence, comes t… more
