Composer: Christian Calon Commission: French State (Music Office), Ina-GRM Premiere: June 1993, Salle Olivier Messiaen — Maison de Radio France (Paris, France) To Chantal It is when in a moment of sharp consciousness, Matter through the
proliferation of its forms strikes us with the measure of the ephemeral. A
painful and at the same time magnificent experience. Which could be the sense of this action, this abounding of sound, other than
an answer to the amazement to the luxurious prodigality and the sumptuousness
of Matter.
The technical and compositional challenge here is the work on metamorphosis. Using a single type of material (electric guitar) I had to find the tools and develop the processes to make it evolve in a form which, through the transformations of sound, would generate a spiral effect. On a formal level: Les corps éblouis is a work in which, through the development of this principle of metamorphosis, the result is that the Form is only legible superficially, and that it grows on the listener according to an irrational process. [ii-98] Les corps éblouis was commissioned by the French State (Music Office) and the Ina-GRM (Paris). It was realized in the GRM studios (1992-93) and was premiered by Francis Dhomont (sound projection) in June, 1993 in the Salle Olivier Messiaen of the Maison de Radio France (Paris, France) as part of the Son-Mu concert series. The following year, the present recast version was premiered at the National Theatre of Marseilles. Les corps éblouis was awarded the 2nd Prize at the 22nd Bourges International Electroacoustic Music Competition (France, 1994) and was also awarded Distinctions at the Prix Ars Electronica (Linz, Austria, 1995, 97). electrocd.com Christian Calon: Les corps éblouis: track detail |
