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

Echo

Description: Recording of Ross Harris's Echo performed by Mary Robbie, trumpet. The work is for solo trumpet and tape delay, which has the effect of producing "canonic echoes" of the solo voice. In concert performance, the two channels of delayed sound are to be placed outside the performance area, there by expanding the space, and the performer's sound appears to move out from the player and away into the distance. The piece was written for Mary Robbie, who performs it in this recording.

Courant statique

Description: Recording of Nicolas Verin Courant statique. The time of the work is devoted to an exploration of several paths linking two extremes of sound matter: balance, held almost immobile; and movement of volatile particles. Several other masses are added, creating a heaviness, an expectation, gradually generating tension, until the breaking point where they explode in a flash, in a shower of sparks, which will soon be extinguished. This piece was created using electronic technique.
