The Cycle of Sound
by Francis Dhomont |imed_0158-0001|
This ‘Cycle’ celebrates sound (a major discovery of the twentieth century)
and concrete music. It is a fiftieth-anniversary homage to the inventiveness
of Pierre Schaeffer, who clearly created an upheaval
in the world of music that has had no precedent. Drawing on the same sound
material which was forged from the first movement of Schaeffer’s Étude aux objets, as well as
from a personal collection of sounds that have been stored away over the
years, these four pieces go through a process where they develop out of each
other, question each other, echo each other, and complete each other through
allusions, commentaries, metonymies, and continuations. With poetic freedom
they both evoke a historic journey and propose a connection between the
object of sage Schaefferian observation and the wildest “metamorphologies” of
sound art. Years after its composition, Novars, the
third part of this cycle but the first to be composed, remains the section
around which the entire work turns.
