… sans quoi les imperméables jaunes existeront… (2004), 8m00s

1st prize of the Hugh Le Caine Prize at the 2004 SOCAN Foundation Awards for Young Composers

… sans quoi les imperméables jaunes existeront… (… without which yellow raincoats would not exist…) is based on organic and impulsives movements while learning. It is born from an ongoing desire to plunge in things that I dislike and ovoid simplicity. I like calm, soft music with long static track. This piece is an attempt to avoid this direction. And so I plunged myself in a tight montage with well articulated movements. The inspiration come from childhood. The yellow raincoat (“imperméable jaune” in French) is the symbol of childhood, a symbol of the games and of the excitement of jumping both feet in a puddle of water.
