1789-1989

Description: Recording of Juan Blanco's 1789-1989. This piece aims to expose how the French Revolution, through the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, inspired the liberation movements of the people against the oppressive and tyrannical governments. The piece is divided into two parts, which give a sound panorama of the triumph, using electronic and acoustic equipment, the latter taken from songs of the time: "Departure to Place de la Bastille"; "Place and capture of the Bastille", "Lament… more

Concertino

Description: The last few years have witnessed the appearance of highly-specialized fast microcomputers capable of synthesizing complicated spectra in real time. The establishing of MIDI communication protocol provided a precise and efficient way of controlling them by means of such devices – familiar to every musician – as keyboard, violin or drum.

Les Lamentations de Mururoa

Description: At the beginning of 1989, the Experimental Music Group of Bourges asked me to contribute to a project of international composition to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the French Revolution. While I was trying to find a favorable angle to the approach of the project, I felt with more and more repulsion the chauvinistic harmonies of the official celebration of the French Revolution. In any way, I loved France, how could I participate in the celebration of a nation that even in the 200 years of … 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

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

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

Le grand silence d'un seul oiseau
