1385 Seymour StreetL'Envers du monde (The reverse of the world) was created for a month-long residency at CEM in Chicoutimi, Québec. For this creation, the composer immersed herself in both acoustic and amplified sound, working on musical textures and atmospheres with talented musicians. They all gathered around the analog synthesizer to explore the themes of night, forgetting, and reminiscence that run through this 50-minute concert.
The source of inspiration for this creative residency found its setting in the poetry of Anne Hébert, particularly her poem “L’Envers du monde.”
The analog synthesizer allows the artist to create textures and atmospheres by working with slow frequency phasing, variations in intonation, and the interplay between “pure sound” and “noisy sound” made possible by the machine.
