      • Commission: Le bureau des arts
      • Premiere: May 26, 2000, Musiques en marge, Théâtre-Poème (Brussels, Belgium)

      "In the background: an endless flow of words. // Sounds without beginning nor end. Inarticulate and smooth, always. // Figures; the voice, its colours, its emotions. // Words as meaning carriers. // Presence. // Figures over a background, connected by symbols and images.” — Ingrid Drese

      "The structure of this text is in two levels. The project consists in making them live together, knowing that they have nothing in common.” — Étienne Leclercq

      [English translation: François Couture, vi-09]

      Tout autant [Just As Much] was realized in 2000 at the composer’s studio and premiered on May 26-28, 2000 during the Musiques en marge forum at Théâtre-Poème in Brussels (Belgium). It was commissioned for Musiques en marge by Le bureau des arts (Brussels, Belgium), with support from the Service de la musique of the Direction générale de la culture, ministry of Communauté française de Belgique. Thanks to Renaud De Putter and Stephane Ginsburgh of Le bureau des arts. Thanks to Fabienne Henry, recorded voice. Tout autant has been previously released on the compact disc Passerelles (Sub Rosa, SR 161).

      Metharcana (1998), 9m05s
      • Premiere: November 18, 1998, L’Espace du son — M&R, XL-Théâtre du Grand Midi (Brussels, Belgium)

      Metharcana was produced using material intended for a dance production. Starting from the idea that works of this type explore time within a defined space, I became interested in developing a paradox of this interweaving of dance and music — by exploring the use of space within a timeframe defined by the choreographic structure. It is this interaction that I have tried to transpose into this concert piece where two seemingly ill-matched sonic worlds are brought together and treated with the morpho-dynamic analogies that make the relationship viable and suggest a different listening experience — that of a neglected “a-concrete” voice.

      [English translation: Tom Carter]

      Metharcana was realized, with the support of the Communauté française de Belgique, in the composer’s studio in 1998 and premiered on November 11, 1998 during the 5th International Acousmatic Festival L’Espace du son in the XL Théâtre du Grand Midi (Brussels, Belgium). I would like to thank choreographer Michèle Noiret for giving me the opportunity to work in the dance field and to Emmanuel Favreau, from Ina-GRM, for providing me with the GRM Tools software, a precious musical toolbox. Metharcana was awarded the First Prize at the Stockholm Electronic Arts Award (Sweden, 1998).
