Flow - Hommage an Éliane Radigue

Merhaba sayın seyirciler,
ladies and gentlemen,
and maybe some spectateurs

There is some terrible news
Some of it is a bit speculative
Some of it is pure bullshit
<3 disguised as rational discourse <3

But there is 1 truth,
deeply post-truth:

THERE IS NO MOre caKE LEFT
Nothing
Not a crust

Just some frosting
for the 所谓 real men

Sorry
You don’t qualify

No More Cake Left For Us (2025)

Decapod
for alto flute
by Liam Ross Gibson

Performed by Alice St-Onge Ricard 
‪@_zute_de_flute_8127‬ 

Program note:
Decapoda is the order of crustaceans that encompasses crabs, lobsters, crayfish, and shrimp. The piece is inspired by observing the characteristic movements of crabs in tide pools and shallows. These movements can range from furtive, to bellicose, to almost listless, all carried out in a fashion at once comical, horrific, and strangely beautiful.

Decapod

Performed by Ensemble Éclat; March 19th 2024 - Tanna Schulich Hall, Montréal Québec

Charles-Eric Fontane, direction
Alex Huyghebaert, flute
Antonin Cuerrier, clarinet
Paul Çelebi, piano
Jeanne Côté, violin
Audréanne Fillion, cello

Program note:
Along the southwestern shores of the Salish Sea can be found deposits of Cretaceous sandstone that, over the millennia, have eroded into strange and fantastical forms. Perhaps the most striking feature of these shapes is the proliferation of holes ranging in size from large caves and grottos to minute and intricate indentations. These hollows are tangible evidence of the erosive power of water, wind, and time. While not a literal sonic description, Sandstone Lacunae engages with the processes that have shaped this landscape. Here erosion is seen not as an act of destruction, but of creation, carving layer upon layer of similar yet endlessly unique details into the 65 million-year-old rock.
