Geste, forme, couleur
This thesis concerns step behind the composition of electroacoustic and instrumental compositions during my doctorate in the Faculté de musique de l’Université de Montréal. It is first a matter of the importance of the sound recording as primordial composition know-how; I develop in this title five fundamental points inherent in creative sound recording and central to my musical practice. Then comes a technical skimming over of Gestugel, a tool of sound processing developed during my doctorate and which generated most of the sounds used in my com- positions . The five sound recording paradigms previously developed are then reminded and applied to the stage of audio processing, allowing the concept of extension of the sound recording, a concept of audio processing similar to the ap-close to the traditional sound recording and a direct application of which Gestugel is. Concrete examples are supplied to differentiate the extention of the sound recording of the conventional audio processing. A last part, more philosophical, tries to circumscribe the surnaturalist approach of the composer: the use of recurrent motives, of gestures, of sound causality and of sublimation (orchestration) of the acoustical sound tries to accomplish true sound paintings, a figurative music where one can see as much as he can hear.
