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.
Cycle du son
(Cycle of Sound) premiered on November 22nd, 1998 as part of the 5th
L’espace du
son Festival acousmatique international in Brussels (Belgium).
