Electronic Frequencies

This program is dedicated to Francis Dhomont.
Francis Dhomont was a Canadian composer of electro acoustic and acousmatic music, who, especially in early years, was influenced by musique concrete. Although he once said in an interview that he worked on treating recorded sound in a similar way composers of musique concrete did, without even knowing them.
He built up an amazing oeuvre of compositions many of which are timeless masterpieces.
He passed away on the 28.12.2023 at the age of 97.

In this program he is joined by Barry Truax , Robert Normandeau and Froncois Bayle, who, I found, to be loosly connected to his work.
Barry Truax is a Canadian composer who often works with recorded material, but deals with it in a quite different way than Francis Dhomont.
Robert Normandeau actually studied with Francis Dhomont and in this somewhat earlier piece a relation can be heard.
Francois Bayle really has the (direct) background of music concrete and it shines through in his piece Mimameta.
