courant.air in Monsieur Délire

Another very fine record by Nicolas Bernier who, since Les Arbres, never ceases to impress me. courant.air is a mixed electroacoustic work in eight movement for acoustic guitar and tape. Simon Trottier handles guitar duties. The instrument is used sparsely in semi-notated parts that contrast with the mobile and occasionally pretty dense electroacoustic accompaniment. The result is music not too ambient and very engaging. Nice composition skills, elegance, maybe a bit repetitive. courant.air doesn’t have the scope and scale of Les Arbres, but it’s a successful work for sure.
