Concert de musique concrète
Thursday February 19, 2009, 9:30 pm
Salle Pierre-Mercure — Centre Pierre-Péladeau 300, boulevard de Maisonneuve Est [métro Berri-UQAM] Montréal, Québec
Montreal welcomes a giant of electroacoustic music! The Réseaux group sets the stage for French composer, writer, and producer Michel Chion for two world premieres, as part of the MNM festival. By presenting Le souffle court (the newly completed second chapter of La vie en prose, une symphonie concrète) and a new version of the Credo from his Missa Obscura (1992), this avid defender of “musique concrète” will certainly give audiences an earful! Arguably the nation’s most important electroacoustic music society, Réseaux has worked since 1991 to reflect the dynamic nature of contemporary adventures in the universe of sound.
