Le chant de l’inaudible

Jean-François Laporte

Le chant de l’inaudible has been performed in Montréal…

Born after my research on multiple sounds on the saxophone, this minimalist work embroided with acoustical phenomenons explores the sound in a slow, continuous movement. This music of colours is lead by the evolution of a very mild stream of breaths which wind and unwind with each other. Purely deploying a layer of sustained sounds, the work expounds the progressive flow of superposition, then a silent evaporation.
