Eden

Recording of Robert Normandeau's Eden. This work is based on the music composed for the play "L'Éden cinéma" by Marguerite Duras.

Indeleble

Recording of Gabriel Gendin's Indeleble. This work was created as a result of the composer's personal research on voice resources, the object of which was certain voice inflections. The composer used the sound of the word "complete" and percussive attacks for the electronic processing. The electronic and editing processes were extremely careful so as to establish a dialectical process between source and result, respecting both the magic and sonority.
