DELAYTOYS BERCEUSES
03.04–04.10.2010

Solo or duo studio improvisations with Martin Tétreault (using only the toys). Sound recordings of 7 artists’ solo improvisations made in places associated with their childhood, always using the same 2 suitcases…

Approach to the composition: all the recordings are used as neural material. The place, person or time they belong to are not important. The sole other sound source, aside from the toy suitcases, is a collection of spacy notes which serve mostly  as  a linking element.
