Visual artist and composer
A Take on "Piece for Guitars" is an extension of the installation called Pieces for Instruments, which features three filmed sound performances entitled Piece for Drums, Piece for Microphones and Piece for Guitars. In each performance, a musical instrument is dragged through a different natural site. This approach aims to use the ground as an actual "musical score", in order to question how landscape shapes culture and, more specifically, sonic and musical imaginaries. Piece for Guitars took place in September 2018 at the Pinède provinciale de Lachute, in Quebec, and was executed with two guitars running side by side on the forest floor. A Take on "Piece for Guitars" can be considered both as a reminiscence of this performance and as a separate work of composition solely made out of the guitar sounds recorded that day.
