PROGRAMMING
Roman Zavada – Forêt pour deux pianos
Le Vitrail, 1254 rue Ste-Marthe, Thetford Mines
Roman Zavada sets up a real piano laboratory in the forest. Through the erosion of the seasons, the sounds metamorphose and inspire the essence of a new rich and atypical musical adventure. A link is woven between the past and the present, between nature and modernity. Using certain sampling technologies, Zavada reveals himself and plunges us directly into a fascinating universe, going back in time to the first cassette recordings of his childhood.
