Fall
Jean-François Denis
Programme notes
An electroacoustic moment linking three types of sonic events. By imitation and complement. And by the nature of the gesture begun. Fall is an electroacoustic work for tape composed for the choreography of the same name by Lee Ann Smith. When presented with the dance duo, the piece acts as a third character, provoking the dancers and reacting to their movements. In concert, the piece projects a space and time dimension where sonic and sensual imagination plays with and against it. The basic sound textures articulate matter in friction
Fall was realized at the Electroacoustic Studio of Concordia University in April 1988. It is a revised and extended version of Influences (1986), a piece realized for the first version of the choreography of Lee Ann Smith. The dance version of Fall was premiered at the University of Moncton Art Gallery on April 29, 1988 and the concert version at Concordia University on February 24, 1989.
