Serge Arcuri, a former student of Gilles Tremblay (see PNMR No. 2, Présences francophones), is one of Canada’s leading electroacoustic composers. This disc, true to its word, meanders a wee bit, but leaves the listener with a positive picture of Arcuri’s work. The electronic component is cutting, at times externally-oriented, referential, at others inward and self-defining — we hear for example, shimmering streets of static, and the fall of electronic rain — but also pick out more mysterious psychic groans, the grinding of deep structures like tectonic plates or a lake freezing in the night. The perfomances by some of the finest interpreters of new music (Cherney, Ouellet, Tureski, Goodman) are seamlessly integrated with the electronic materials. Lueurs is rather conventional but is so recognizably of Montréal that one half expects Uzeb’s guitarist Michel Cusson to cut in with a solo.
