« With instrumental as with acousmatic music,
I don’t compose sounds but rather listening itself. »
« En instrumental, comme en acousmatique,
je compose non les sons mais l’écoute. »

Description
fr

The work “Douze mélodies acousmatiques” from 1988 took the names of its movements from the poem “Rendez-vous”. The composer now reuses certain elements of that piece for this new opus in the Les Acousmalides cycle. These “Mélodies” without words, which themselves borrowed from works composed by Denis Dufour between 1980 and 1987, are now reunited with the text that had originally inspired them.
[Jérôme Nylon]
Du poème “Rendez-vous” proviennent les sous-titres d’une œuvre de 1988, “Douze mélodies acousmatiques”, dont le compositeur reprend des éléments pour ce nouvel opus du cycle Les Acousmalides. Ces “Mélodies” sans paroles, qui elles-mêmes empruntaient aux musiques composées par Denis Dufour entre 1980 et 1987, retrouvent ici le texte qui les avait alors inspirées.

Denis Dufour
About
fr
1953 – *

With his morphological and expressive approach to sound, Denis Dufour works on pieces in a state of constant renewal, on ideas that are specific to each piece. The resultant work is like a large fresco in which no themes sound alike, one goes through varied and breathtaking soundscapes, appreciating the sheer imagination though the consistency of his style. By deliberately but effortlessly having his music open to all sounds, Denis Dufour’s approach is that of liberty, independence and diligence. His craftsmanship, very French, is exquisite and mastered; every second of sound is enveloped by a supra-conscious ear, so that his work contains no trace of automatic tools.

Find his complete works at Maison ONA —nearly 200 instrumental, vocal, mixed music and electroacoustic works released successively.
1953 – *

Avec son approche morphologique et expressive du son, Denis Dufour élabore des œuvres toujours renouvelées car portées par des projets à chaque fois singuliers. En résulte un catalogue qui sonne comme une vaste fresque dont aucun motif ne se ressemble, englobant des paysages variés et prenants, une mosaïque de sonorités, de pensées et de couleurs qui permettent d'apprécier autant son imagination que la cohérence de sa démarche. En ouvrant délibérément mais avec naturel sa musique à tous les sons, Denis Dufour œuvre avec liberté, indépendance et rigueur, et avec un souci de l'artisanat si fin qu'il se fait oublier.
