A hybrid thing in four movements, made of cut-up pieces, pasted,
assembled, sowed parts that are alike and contrasted, and that I
have named, for obvious reasons, the Frankenstein Symphony: an
unusual electroacoustic adventure.
Armed with a scalpel and a splicing (operational) block, I sampled
several morphological organs from the the works of 22 composers
and friends (many of whom were students of mine), and with their
imprudent blessings (on a stormy night?), brought to life this
little acoustic monster which I hold particularly close to my
heart.
-- Francis Dhomont, Montreal, February 1997
Dhomont, a French-Canadian pioneer in electroacoustic forays,
swallows the concept of a compilation and finds it unpalatable.
Though Frankenstein is along similar lines, musically, as the
Drones series on Asphodel (Storm of Drones, A Swarm of Drones, the
Throne of Drones), Dhomont takes his curatorship one step further,
working pieces by friends, students, strangers, into a continuous
whirlwind, a sprawling symphony of an engulfing nature.
And in the stomach of the beast created? The symphony cobbles
together pan lids, guillotines, the opened jaws of lions, digital
thumps, bumps, squeaks, cars, trucks, trees, tubes, a brass band,
German orators, a few scrapy plates, the clanking of bridles,
accordions, harpsichords, kindergarteners with slide whistles,
frogs, and the duck's-ear-view of a city.
Along with them, many electroacoustic composers' talents are
directed most usefully at creating atmospheres, films without
pictures, blind tableaus. Along with Canadians Ned Bouhalassa,
Yves Daoust, Gilles Gobeil, Daniel Leduc, Robert Normandeau, Mario
Rodrigue, Emmanuel Madan, Stephane Roy, Claude Schryer, Roxanne
Turcotte, and Annette Vande Gorne (most of them knows for their
work on the label Diffusion i Media), there are 11 more all
unwinding their tape from different corners of the world.
