Gen_3 has been performed in San Francisco…

To Francis Dhomont

“I have always liked Francis Dhomont’s sound palette; his sounds talk to me. So I was bound to steal one from him at some point. I have opted for a very “Dhomonesque” sound from his Novars. Interestingly, Novars contains one sample from Pierre Schaeffer and another from Guillaume de Machaut. I am also using these samples, to carry the ‘cycle’ for a third generation. Not a homage work per se, Gen_3 is still inhabited by these composers. The piece presents the intimate view I share with this medium or even this music, all the while paying tribute to Francis, Pierre, Guillaume, and its ultimate creator Orphée.”

— Louis Dufort [English translation: François Couture, viii-07]
