« Time is noticeable only through its moments,
its duration is only felt through its moments. »
« Le temps ne se remarque que par les instants,
la durée n’est sentie que par les instants. »
Gaston Bachelard



Description
fr

The feeling of a continuous duration that “memory only can unify” contrasts with “non-durational moments” projected in different parts of the room. The subtle variations of superimposed continua between the speakers create a kind of sound shifting effect. Using a new device, the envelope shaper, it was possible to “extract” constantly moving moments. [Bernard Parmegiani]
La sensation d’une durée continue que “la seule mémoire uniformise”, s’oppose aux “instants sans durée” projetés en plusieurs points de l’espace. Les variations subtiles de continuums superposés créent entre les haut-parleurs une sorte de balancement sonore. Un nouvel appareil, le modulateur de forme, a permis d’isoler ainsi par “extraction” des instants continuellement mobiles. [Bernard Parmegiani]

About
fr
1927 – 2013

Bernard Parmegiani is a pioneer and leading light of electroacoustic music. He leaves behind him a vast and fascinating œuvre, a priceless heritage for today's generation.

His life was structured around a few mainstays: working in a studio filled with machines, lighting a pipe filled with Amsterdamer, in the company of his wife (his “first ear”), and not least, a few affectionate cats.

Find the majority of his concert pieces at Maison ONA — over 50 mixed music and acousmatic pieces released over time.
