Bernard Fort’s lastest disc, Lumière dans la nuit(Light in the Night), will be officially launched in Europe on April 2, 2004 during a concert at Théâtre de la Villa Gillet (Lyon, France).

Christian Bouchard presented his first solo disc Fractures on February 14 2004 during the Rien à voir (15) festival while Denis Smalley remastered the works from his 1992 disc — which has been out of print for over a year — for the brand new Impacts intérieurs now available.

Two new long-awaited releases from French label Ina-GRM (Groupe de recherches musicales). Firstly, the reissue of Bernard Parmegiani’s Violostries, a 6-work double CD dating back from what he calls The Age of Sewing, a “period when scissors helped us calibrate sounds and silences.” Finally, the new CD Labyrinthe! by Pierre Henry, a sound expedition in 10 sequences, premiered at an historical GRM concert in March 2003.

Ten years after the publication of his milestone album, Canadian composer Paul Dolden offers us something more than just a re-issue but a gigantic reconstruction of his work. Indeed, the hundreds of tracks which makes each of the works featured on both Intoxicated by Speed’s two volumes were re-processed, re-mixed and re-mastered with the most recent digital technologies. No comparison is possible with the previous analog mixes! A third album stems from this impressive revamping task, Seuil de silences, featuring previously unreleased compositions and works from the 1990 album The Threshold of Deafening Silence.

Bernard Fort is devoted to ornithology and the study of the natural soundscapes. On Lumière dans la nuit (“Lights in the Night”) three works are gathered, spanning ten years of creation in collaboration with France’s Ina-GRM. A powerful first album on empreintes DIGITALes by this French composer.

Bathed in impressions from his years of traveling, Migrations marks the CD return of Stéphane Roy after his recent collaboration with Arturo Parra on the disc Parr(A)cousmatique. The three works of Migrations are stamped by the “cultural itineration” he felt during his five years spent in the American Midwest.
