Eden

Description: Recording of Robert Normandeau's Eden. This work is based on the music composed for the play "L'Éden cinéma" by Marguerite Duras. The stage and concert music were composed in parallel as part of the same fiction but corresponding to different purposes. Given Duras' music, which was filled with instruction, the composer of this work responded to this by playing continuous music in the room. In the concert version sound elements are added to represent different facets of Duras' life.
