Temps-vaporeux

Premiered by Montreal’s Quatuor Bozzini on 14th Nov., 2015. Co-presented by Blue Moss Ensemble and the Music Gallery with the support of the Ontario Arts Council.

Program Note: Scientists have recently revealed that a species of moth in the Kirindy forest of Madagascar drinks tears from the eyes of birds. Birds can usually fly away from these predators, but not while sleeping. The Madagascan moths were observed on the necks of sleeping magpie robins and Newtonia birds, with the tip of their proboscises inserted under the bird’s eyelid, drinking avidly. Sleeping birds have two eyelids, both closed. So instead of the soft, straw-like mouthparts found on tear-drinking moths elsewhere, the Madagascan moth has a proboscis “shaped like an ancient harpoon,” with hooks and barbs. It is inserted under the eyelid where the barbs are used to anchor it in place. The team does not yet know whether the insect spits out an anaesthetic to dull the irritation. They also want to investigate whether, like their counterparts elsewhere, the Madagascan tear-drinkers are all males who get most of their nutrition from the tears. (Deborah MacKenzie)

Moths Drink the Tears of Sleeping Birds

Un son enregistré en extérieur, dans lequel je suis allé chercher les sons qu'on n'entend pas habituellement. Chirurgie acoustique : beaucoup de travail sur des sélections de partiels selon des critères variés et bizarres, des filtres décoiffants, du time stretching, un peu de granulation, mise en espace stéréophonique. Reste à reconnaître le son de départ !

Franck C. Yeznikian - IN PARADISVM

Open piece for 8/10  toy pianos consisting of 8 cells.
The piece unfolds by the progressive propagation of one cell 
spreading from a leading pianist to all the other musicians .
The leading pianist begins with cell 1, then the others join in one by one, playing the same cell. When all the pianists are in unison, the leader begins another cell. 
Others continue playing the previous one and, one by one, 
start playing the newly proposed cell.

Massacre du Printemps - P.Bastaroli

In « l’Odyssée », with his acousmatic geophonies & heterotopias,  Jean VOGUET virtually explores other planets in the Universe that the humanity may discover one day, and see whether it is habitable or not, in order to survive.

An initiatory wandering punctuated by 13 Stations, ecosystems with  complex structures composed of synthesized sound materials, which define a  virtual & temporal mapping of time-space.
