Historical Recovery Society
Montréal, May 25, 2113We have the pleasure to present you with the results of our expertise on the contents of a 90+ years old hard drive that belonged to 21st-century composer Christian Bouchard. We were able to recover a complete file named “Numbers and Silences.” Our experts believe that the Fibonacci series was used to generate rhythmical sequences, build parameter automations and apply moments of silence. However, the bad state of the drive and the interpretation our software conducted may be responsible for digital artifacts or even for mixing several files into one. There is also a possibility that this piece echoes a series of short pieces also detected on the same drive. More results to follow. Thank you for your business.
