About Alter ego

by Pierre Alexandre Tremblay |imed_0680-0001|

the other self — Finding in music an accomplice, the other, without whom nothing is possible, without whom one cannot grow. Better: through his contact, one really exists, since one plainly sees oneself. A mirror.

the other me — My music as an intimate insight, naked, subject to the world’s judgement: an act of humility. Through it I present a hidden side of my torment, in my name, alone to take on the poetry of its imperfection. Of my imperfection.

the other you — Proposing dreams fragments, paths for wandering, where others can hopefully loose themselves and self-identify to the extent of purging their humanity. Or just to enjoy the road.

the other thing — A work, not as a superficial exercise of aesthetic seduction, but as an attempt to transcend differences toward the Übermensch. Strong arguments, amoral, music as a vehicle of reflections, Expressionist and Romantic, inducing an effervescence, an urgency to live. Perhaps simply beautiful?

other.

I consider myself as a very lucky man, and I believe that my happiness must rightly be attributed to those who have fanned the flames of my passion. I would like to dedicate this album to them, by thanking them both personally and publicly! Suzanne and Louis-Carl Tremblay, for encouraging me to believe in my dreams, and for having provided me with the means with which to achieve them. Louis-Nicolas and Jean-Christophe Tremblay, for all the years of love, however clumsy. Claudine Levasseur, for this life of shared dreams… may there be thousands more! Jean-Guy Larin, for having known how to kindle my passion during the informal meetings on the shores of the St Lawrence River. Michel Longtin, for having sown the seed of doubt early enough, and then for nuthuring it! Michel Tétreault, for the electroacoustic revelation, and for being an inexhaustible source of questions. Marcelle Deschênes, for all of her honesty and generosity which encouraged my personality to emerge. Robert Normandeau, not only for the repertoire and the craftsmanship, but also for the trust demonstrated by all the opportunities. Jean Piché, for the forceful discussions and the whispered support! Alain Thibault, for encouraging me to listen to different things, different ways, differently, and for so much more! Michel Donato, for the little touches of light in my troubled music. Jonty Harrison, for the hospitality in welcoming me into the heart of the BEAST, permitting me to solidify my musical path. Jean-François Denis, for his dedication to his work as an electroacoustic missionary. Dominique Bassal for the accuracy of his judgement and its passionate delivery. Madeleine Bellemare and Diane Harting, for the commas, the periods, and all the small details that fashion a text. Sébastien Malo, Julien Marcil, Bruno Morin, Sylvain Pohu and Mario St-Onge, with whom I have come to know what friendship is. Sébastien Arcand-Tourigny, Nicolas Boucher, Gabway Côté, Sean Craig, Étienne Deslières, Guillaume Coutu-Dumont, Alain Gauthier and Stefan Schneider, for having shared with [iks] the countless adventures and interrogations, as much ethical as aesthetic! Finally, Maxime and Édouard Levasseur, before whom all this seems so futile, yet finds all its meaning!
