Catherine Meunier - Night Chill - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Each culture and civilization has it's own phantoms and intangible myths. Inspired by the Argentine imaginary world of Julio Cortazar, this is a musical digression into the absurd. A hypnotic and poetic journey. A member of INA GRM (Music Research Group) and in charge of the digitization of GRM's original work, Diego Losa is also a sound manager and technical assistant to guest composers at INA. A Sound Engineering professor at Sorbonne (Paris I) and EICAR Film School, Diego also teaches electroacoustic music at St-Etienne Conservatoire a` rayonnement re´gional. Diego has created music for cinema, radio, the circus and dance performances. Diego performs his own pieces for traditional South American music concerts and in jazz bands. His pieces have been played in France, the U.S, Germany, Norway, Brazil, China, England, Poland and more.

Theo Plath writes InchI always found that the music of Impressionism and Late Romanticism was an object of longing for me as a bassoonist; Saint-Saëns was one of the few composers of his time who helped to expand the repertoire of Inchone of these otherwise so neglected instrumentsInch. He was unfortunately rather alone in that endeavor - which I find all the more regrettable, since I regard the bassoon's timbre as quite appropriate for the music of that period. With this album I have fulfilled my personal dream to revel in the music of Romanticism and Impressionism, an era otherwise mostly lost for the bassoon as a solo instrument. Art often depicts our yearning for what is lost in the past. Proust, more than any other author, evoked memory as a source of artistic inspiration in his multi-volume novel In Search of Lost Time, to which this album's title refers.Inch
