Le miroir à salade

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Eric Mulard's Le miroir à salade. In the manner of Russian dolls, the Salad Mirror plays around obsessive and ultimately comical interlockings between audio stories from everyday life, including the meaning and sound of the words that structure it, are intertwined. The Salad Mirror is this time of listening during which the sound and the meaning of situations and words are as if in a state of weightlessness, without it being known in the end which of the two is anticipating on the other.

Recording of Eric Mulard's La Loupe d'Orme. This work is for electronics, voice, and pre-recorded audio. The elm is a slender tree providing soft and hard wood. The elm burl is the most central part.

Recording of Jean-François Cavro's Discours Croises. The translation of the piece's title is "Crossed Discourse", and it is for tuba-bass in F and electronic device.
