The sound material was sculpted by sampling (thanks to Philippe Moënne-Loccoz) and then tamed and articulated on the keyboard in the studio. Point-virgule [Semicolon] is developed through five approaches, enunciated one after the other, and concludes with an exclamation point.

Point-virgule was realized in July, 1990 at the studio of Collectif & Cie (Annecy, France), with the collaboration of Bernard Donzel-Gargand while mixing, with support from the Canada Council for the Arts (CCA) and of the French Government.
