Description
fr

What sounds incite the sensory and mental ecstasy that continue to guide the young Hamish Hossain in his “unending rite of passage”? Having moved to France in 2010 to pursue studies in music and sound composition, he speaks of being fascinated at an early age by sound, be it music, signals, cries or noises, and the space within which it unfolds. His childhood neighborhood of Tatibagan, Kolkata, became his place of enlightenment and observation. His parents’ house, his school where he discovered the piano; his cat, the street, the neighbors, the town criers, the dogs and the crows, the rickshaws and tuk-tuks, the trains and street vendors. Having never been to India, Denis Dufour has re-imagined Kolkata’s sonic environment based on Hamish’s stories, a few sounds recorded on his brother Razi’s phone, and videos on the internet. [Jérôme Nylon]
Quels sons provoquèrent chez le tout jeune Hamish Hossain l’extase sensorielle et intellectuelle qui continue de le guider dans son « perpétuel voyage initiatique » ? Installé en France depuis 2010 afin d’y étudier la création musicale et sonore, il parle de son attrait précoce pour le son, qu’il soit musique, signal, cri ou bruit, et l’espace dans lequel il se déploie. Tatibagan, quartier de son enfance à Kolkata, fut son terrain d’éveil et d’observation : la maison de ses parents, l’école où il découvrit le piano, son chat, la rue, les voisins, les crieurs de rue, les chiens et les corbeaux, les rickshaws et les tuk-tuks, les trains et les marchands ambulants. N’étant jamais allé en Inde, Denis Dufour a imaginé l’environnement sonore de Kolkata à partir du récit de Hamish, de quelques sons captés sur un téléphone portable par son frère Razi et des vidéos qu’il a visionnées sur Internet.

About
fr
1953 – *

With his morphological and expressive approach to sound, Denis Dufour works on pieces in a state of constant renewal, on ideas that are specific to each piece. The resultant work is like a large fresco in which no themes sound alike, one goes through varied and breathtaking soundscapes, appreciating the sheer imagination though the consistency of his style. By deliberately but effortlessly having his music open to all sounds, Denis Dufour’s approach is that of liberty, independence and diligence. His craftsmanship, very French, is exquisite and mastered; every second of sound is enveloped by a supra-conscious ear, so that his work contains no trace of automatic tools.

Find his complete works at Maison ONA —nearly 200 instrumental, vocal, mixed music and electroacoustic works released successively.
1953 – *

Avec son approche morphologique et expressive du son, Denis Dufour élabore des œuvres toujours renouvelées car portées par des projets à chaque fois singuliers. En résulte un catalogue qui sonne comme une vaste fresque dont aucun motif ne se ressemble, englobant des paysages variés et prenants, une mosaïque de sonorités, de pensées et de couleurs qui permettent d'apprécier autant son imagination que la cohérence de sa démarche. En ouvrant délibérément mais avec naturel sa musique à tous les sons, Denis Dufour œuvre avec liberté, indépendance et rigueur, et avec un souci de l'artisanat si fin qu'il se fait oublier.

Retrouvez chez Maison ONA l’intégralité de son œuvre musicale —instrumentale, vocale, mixte et sur support— soit près de 200 opus progressivement disponibles.
