1. Francis Dhomont: AvatArsSon (1998) 18m11s amp_2002-1.1 | 13849 |in six connected parts: Fondation; Avatars; Voix; Aventures; Paysages; À suivre… Composer: Francis Dhomont Commission: Ministère de la Culture (France), Ina-GRM Premiere: May 11, 1998, Salle Olivier Messiaen — Maison de Radio France (Paris, France) To “the inventors of the treasure” (Bayle, Berio, Chion, Dufour, Ferrari, Henry, Malec, Parmegiani, Reibel, Risset, Schaeffer, Stockhausen, Teruggi, Varèse, Xenakis, Zanési, and others too numerous to name) This presents an original aspect of the “new music” (as Schaeffer called it in 1950) one that, thanks to the concept of the sound object, brought about its accession to a multidimensional musical world. But it is above all a metaphor for, and a short cut across, some of the stages of the sound odyssey — heard for itself and for its unveiled “images” (Bayle) — and its performance. It also recalls the fertile guiding drift that allows the attentive ear to discover the furtive traces of homage. [English translation: Tom Carter] AvatArsSon was realized in 1998 in the Syter studio of Ina-GRM and in the composer’s studio, and it premiered on May 11th, 1998 as part of Ina-GRM’s Cycle acousmatique at the Salle Olivier Messiaen of the Maison de Radio France in Paris. AvatArsSon was a special commission of the Ministère de la Culture (France) and of Ina-GRM for the 50th anniversary of musique concrète. AvatArsSon was awarded the first prize at the 2nd Concorso Internazionale di Composizione Musicale Elettronica Pierre Schaeffer (Pescara, Italy, 1999) and, in a shorter version (14:20), the second prize in the Musica Nova 1998 International Competition of Electroacoustic Music (Prague, Czech Republic).
