Four compositions by the electronic musician from Quebec, conceived during
his studies at the Conservatoire de Musique de Montréal, from 2017 to
2019.
This CD holds four new compositions conceived by Roger Tellier-Craig
during his studies at the Conservatoire de Musique de Montréal. Merging
subject into object, opposing chance to narrative, putting
source against sound. Tellier-Craig constructs and simultaneously
questions the relation of composition and/as deconstruction. These pieces,
or studies, are as much about organization as they are about irruption, or
attention and idleness. Seeking to configure tensions through the use of
differences, creating an extensive network of relationships between
differing sonic phenomena. Time and sound coherent and in contrast in an
acoustic space. But this goes beyond homage, and has nothing to do with
electroacoustic nostalgia. These pieces carry a present day urgency. What
does it mean to utilize, to arrange, to listen?
