« … Ceci est un message enregistré…»
Marc Tremblay
Programme notes
To Sylvain Carette and Alain Thibault
This is a piece that explores the sound-world of the telephone, with its ringing, its hidden defects, its dead-air moments, its anonymous voices, and its more or less direct relationship to communication. In a world in which we communicate more and yet which remains surprisingly insular, we all live against a background of loneliness.
