SERGE ARCURI : Les Meandres Du Reve

“To accentuate the artificial dimension of dreams, and contrary to the procedure whereby concrete sound objects are transformed into a musical process, this Prelude aux meandres (Meanders’ Prelude) is a reconstruction of a summer night soundscape in which the songs of crickets, grasshoppers, frogs and birds are all of a synthetic nature. These sounds take part in a contrapuntal game with elements that are foreign to the scene and which constitute the dramatic attraction. This prelude was written as the introduction to the stage version.”
