<p>
<a href="https://musinou.net/note/Trouée">Trouée</a> c’est une pièce spéciale pour moi, c’est une pièce sur la mémoire, la démence, que j’ai écrite quand mon papy, alors atteint de démence, a déménagé chez-nous, et il est décédé le jour de la première répétition. Que cette pièce soit finaliste, ça me touche beaucoup.</p>

An interactive and poetic journey in which each choice and turn can influence the composition and the visual. A journey to make and remake, never the same, a work which evolves again and again, with the weather and with the fall colours.<br><br>
<blockquote>Four musical saws found solitude in a forest from The Laurentiens region. Do you think that saws who is by itself in the forest sing if noone is listing to them? Can a virtual key hole can allow you to check that and to make a journey with those saws?</blockquote>
One can visit the work Tuesdays to Sundays between 11:00 and 17:00 Eastern Time, until mid-November or before the first layer of snow. Note that bad weather can sometime prevent the installation to run.
<br><br>
NEW<br>
From November I changed the schedule, it is now more varied to give more flexibility to visitors.
<br><br>
One needs to take an<a href="https://fb.com/book/musinou.net/"> appointment</a> to visit the installation, either on my <a href="https://fb.com/book/musinou.net/">Facebook Page</a> or by contacting me via <a href="http://musinou.net/note/Contact">email</a>.<br>

Double-Tranchant @ KIAC<br />
Double-Tranchant, meaning double-edged in French, is a solo show-installation for invented, found and automated instruments made with object that can cut, with real-time processing in a quadriphonic setting.<br />
<br />
A piece for musical saws, stemsaws*, automated circular saw blades*, automated mobile of knifes*, automated electric musical saws* and other sharp found instruments with a live electronics setup that is a subtle gradient between playing an electronic instrument and playing with an algorithmic “musician” using a concept of indirect control by layers of flexible automations. <br />
<br />
Double-Tranchant is a commentary on the contrast between the brute, the sharp and the flexible, the fascinating.<br />
<br />
This piece is a long term project that has recently received the support of the Canada Council for the Arts. The residency at KIAC is to work on the code for the live electronics setup, working on the form of the show and composition in this really inspiring environment and to find some new sonic material with the help of Dawson community. <br />
