Les Structures Du Rêve, For Two Marimbas And Multipercussion., Bruno Louchourn

Bruno Louchouarn

Recent studies have likened dreams to virtual reality. They are much closer in nature to our conscious life than previously thought. In many ways the apprehension of dreams parallel that of music. In both case a stream of virtually real events is pieced together and accepted by the mind in a very intuitive fashion, with similar suspension of disbelief, and similar level of aesthetic responses from the beautiful to the disturbing. Their structure is clear from moment to moment but less precisely felt globally

Vox Populi, For Timpani And Electronics, Bruno Louchourn

Bruno Louchouarn

Vox populi is the voice of the people, the crowd. It expresses our basic feelings, emotions, or demand, often in a quasi-verbal fashion.

They cover a wide emotional range. The drums also have a ritualistic framing function bringing order to human utterances.

Beethoven, Lugwig, Van – Drei Equali For Four Trombones In The Original & Transposed Ersions, David Mathie

Two of these were adapted later for male voices and were sung at Beethoven’s funeral.
