Programme notes
A small tribute for the 50th anniversary of the film 2001
— Gilles Gobeil [English translation
Sentinelle [The Sentinel] was realized in 2019-20 at Musiques & Recherches’ Métamorphoses d’Orphée studio in Ohain (Belgium), at Universidade Catolica do Porto (Portugal) and at the composer’s studio. Thanks to Yves Charuest (alto saxophone) who generated the improvisations I used as raw materials for composing the solo part, to Pierre Girard (Planet Studios) for recording the saxophone, to Paulo Ferreira-Lopes, José Oliveira Martins and Cristina Sá (Universidade Católica Portuguesa no Porto), and to Annette Vande Gorne (Musiques & Recherches). Finally, thanks to the Canada Council for the Arts (CCA) for its support. Sentinelle was awarded the 1st prize — Mixed Work at the 2020 international electroacoustic music competition Musica Nova (Prague, Czech Republic).
