Not The Music - Philippe Lauzier and Éric Normand
The Atlantica Hotel, 1980 Robie St., Halifax
Part of Open Waters Festival 2015
With their gentle noise and cracked linearity, the duo of Éric Normand & Philippe Lauzier enact a sound environment that is contemplative yet stands on the edge of the precipice; an environment in which the monsters of rough texture are tamed. Calling forth hidden lyricism from their instruments, Lauzier and Normand scrape their fingernails across the proverbial blackboard to exquisite effect.
