Review

A pair of new compact discs representing the galvanized Canadian electroacoustic community. Anecdotes, Yves Daoust — Satie from an open window on Petite Musique Sentimentale is more the hearing the Velvet Gentleman was after than most are willing to give him credit for. A second disc features compositions by Michel-Georges Bregent — Atlantide — and Walter Boudreau — Golgot(h)a. Both are powerful, energetic works, and it’s nice to see the poet/composer collaboration celebrated as well as Boudreau does with the poet who gave us such seminal language-music works as Concerto en si b dur pour 33 machines a ecrire and Vibration-percussion yin-yang, Raôul Duguay.
