Francis Dhomont - Cycle De LErrance
Review by Ahyarudin Ahyarudin
Cycle De L'Errance by Francis Dhomont is an exceptional album that showcases the composer's mastery of acousmatic music. The album is a collection of eight pieces that explore the theme of wandering and the search for identity. Each piece is a sonic journey that takes the listener on a mesmerizing trip through a landscape of sound.
The album opens with "Vol d'Arondes," a piece that features a swirling mass of bird sounds, evoking a sense of freedom and movement. The following tracks, "Les Moirures du Temps" and "Transit," are more introspective, featuring haunting melodies and intricate soundscapes.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Sous le Regard d'un Soleil Noir," which combines eerie ambient sounds with glitchy electronic beats, creating a sense of unease and discomfort. Another highlight is "Forêt Profonde," a piece that immerses the listener in the sounds of a dense forest, with birds chirping and leaves rustling in the wind.

About Francis Dhomont
Francis Dhomont (Paris, France, 1926) studied under Ginette Waldmeier, Charles Koechlin and Nadia Boulanger. In the late 40s, in Paris (France), he intuitively discovered with magnetic wire what Schaeffer would later call musique concrète and consequently conducted solitary experiments with the musical possibilities of sound recording. Later, leaving behind instrumental writing, he dedicated himself exclusively to electroacoustic composition.
An ardent proponent of acousmatics, his work (since 1963) is comprised exclusively of works for tape bearing witness to his continued interest in morphological interplay and ambiguities between sound and the images it may create.
Since 1978, he has divided his time between France and Québec, where he has taught at the Université de Montréal from 1980 to 1996. He is an Associate Composer of the Canadian Music Centre (CMC, 1989) and a Founding Member (1986) and Honorary Member (1989) of the Canadian Electroacoustic Community (CEC).
Important note: The Mouvances - Métaphores 2CD set was reissued as two single CD. All these variations should be in the same MR folder.
