Programme notes
To François
Amore was realized in the Faculty of Music of the Université de Montréal (1986-88), and at the studios Séducson (Montréal, 1992) and Bruit bleu (Montréal, 1992). With the voices of Judith Bergeron, Daniel Leduc and Roxanne Turcotte. Texts of Love You, Olé-Léa-Léo and Trop tard are excerpted from Navires de guerre (War Ships) by Élise Turcotte (Écrits des Forges, 1984). The main source of inspiration is Roland Barthes’s book A Lover’s Discourse, with a few allusions in Olé-Léa-Léo. Musical allusions can also be found to Yellowman in L’amore

Love You
Two lovers cavort, cover each other with kisses and affection. Followed by a similar picture on the television screen. Soft lighting and background music inspire the first exchange of confidences… The many colours of love, the infinite tenderness of the heart, and desire, lifting us up on the meditative wave of the holy dabouda of our love, to be tele-taken into the television set. A sensation of well-being and euphoria
