      In memory of Serge Garant (1929-1986)

      This dramatic piece brings together one of the earliest electronic instruments and one of the most recent developments in digital audio technology. The instrumentalist occupies a well-defined space in this universe of sound on tape. However, her role is not that of the traditional soloist. The tones of the ondes Martenot, supple and expressive, approach the strains of the human voice, and seek to meld with the highly intense material on tape.

      [English translation: François Couture, iii-05]

      To Suzanne Binet-Audet

      In this piece, the ondes Martenot is linked to a MIDI converter, enabling the performer to play, in addition to her instrument, other MIDI instruments (synthesizer, sampler, and the entirety of the processing). This ’super-instrument’ gives access to a profusion of sounds — simple and complex — which surround and accompany the timbre of the ondes Martenot while remaining responsive to the nuances imparted by the performer.

      [v-94]

      Là où vont les nuages… (Where the Clouds go…) was produced in the composer’s studio in 1990. It was premiered on June 5, 1991, at the Perspectives CEC Electroacoustic Days at Concordia University in Montréal by the ondes player Suzanne Binet-Audet. Là où vont les nuages… was released on the compact disc La mécanique des ruptures, empreintes DIGITALes (IMED 9421).

      This version was adapted in 2004 and recorded by Gilles Gobeil on January 11, 2005, in Boucherville (Québec), and mixed by the composer and the performer in the composer’s studio in January 2005.
