L'un des concerts les plus intenses du festival de
Victoriaville en 2005. Le sextette de BRAXTON joua
la composition 345 laquelle permit a chaque
intervenant un large emploi des techniques
contemporaines sur son instrument.
Recorde live at the 22nd Festival International de
Musique Actuelle, Victoriaville, May 22, 2005
A radical thinker in a class by himself, Braxton
writes compositions that represent a complex view
of the world. One look at his charts - which
combine standard notation, passages of notes in
specific colours and unique graphical
representations - and it's clear that there's an
advanced process in play. And watching the sextet
perform, witnessing the kind of concentration and
attention required by everyone with everyone,
provided definite insight into how BraxtonÆs
revolutionary compositions make the transition from
written page to performance. With a variety of
extended techniques used by all to broaden the
sonic palette, 345 was a stunning new piece of
music that continues to assert Braxton as one of
the great musical thinkers of the past forty years.
His compositions demand nothing less than complete
commitment by the audience, and it was clear that
those in attendance were totally engaged. A
remarkable piece performed by an outstanding
ensemble and a clear festival high point.
