The petits Big Bangs by Marcelle Deschênes are a true retrospective of her mixed, multimedia & acousmatic work from 1976 to 2002. 6 pieces — mastered by Dominique Bassal — to be savoured in 24-bit sound. Jean-Noël von der Weid writes “Marcelle Deschênes’ creations devour. Because they are brief monuments; apocalyptic waves breaking over extremely small spaces; amazed innocence within the thickness of opacity; exuberance and decomposition.” Rosemary Mountain adds “Stormy, serene, tender, bold — the music of Marcelle Deschênes moves with ease through the gamut of emotions, often with an exhilarating rapidity.”
