Description

Recording of Jean-Claude Risset's Attracteurs Étranges, performed by Serge Conte, is a computer-produced piece for clarinet and tape. The piece has four sections of unequal lengths: I. Initial (about 7 minutes), the sonorous pitches gravitate above a high B - a point attractor; II. Vocal (about 2 minutes and 35 seconds, A brief encounter between the clarinet and the voice of Daniel Arfib, slowed down, noisy, hybridized with the instrument; III. Vertical (about 5 minutes 20 seconds), the clarinet energizes strained string-like filters, then turbulent multiphonic sounds echo deep, charged inharmonic sounds; IV. Horizontal (about 6 minutes and 30 seconds), here melodic aspects dominate: the clarinet dialogues with its illusory shadow, some figures appear at different scales, such as in fractal structures. The piece was commissioned by ARCAM at the request of Michel Portal, for his "carte blanche" during the Biennale d'Hy res 1988. It appears, recorded by Serge Conte, on the CD Prix Magisterium, Bourges 1998, Cultures Žlectroniques 11, IMEB / UNESCO / CIME. The soloist dialogues with a band which at times echoes him, and which at other times contrasts with him. Part of the sound material of the tape comes from musical phrases recorded by Portal and modified by computer (temporal stretching, spatialization) either with the SYTER real-time processor, or with the MUSIC V program or a sound transformation program, SOUND MUTATIONS, created by Daniel Arfib.
