I found a old circus in Slovenia. Camels, horses, cracheur de feu. Very old fashion circus in the middle of the city.

Slovenia_Ljubjana
It’s the first time for me, traveling in Slovenia. I was a real pleasure to meet so kindly and smooth people there. Ljubjana is a very beautifull city in many aspects. The first venue for my concert was KinoSiska, a found a surprising well technically equipments there. The technical crew was also top quality, very aware about subtle detail in image and sound. And the crowd was intensively warm. There is some pictures from Ljubjana and Mirabor perfos and random blablabla.
Train Fragments in Paris
I am now in Slovenia for a couple of performances. Didn,t have time to update this blog about the premiere of Train Fragments in Paris last week. It was a real challenge to present this new project with the Ensemble Intercontemporain, yep _ the Boulez Ensemble. With only 3 repetitions, I think we present a real intense performance. The Ensemble improvise with my graphic score over a basic soundtrack that I already create in Montreal. We presented this night 2 representations. Thank’s to all the musicians, who played with brio… and Gilles Alvarez who convinced me to create this piece.
Last day in Rio
Snif, Last days in Rio. Meeting Cyril with friends in a sympathic parc. I found a little orchestra, like Bresilian Woody Allen style. Very good musicians with enthousiasm neighbor audience. A real family sunday in Rio. After we took a boat to visit the Niteroi Museu near the sea. The architecture from Neimeyer remember me old Science-Fiction movies from 1950-1960. All the base in floating on a artificial water surface. Inside, like the Gugenheim museum in New York, everything is like a snail. On the bad side, I was not impress by the exhibitions and I found sadly that the inside museum was not in a good looking shape. Oups, I forgot … also we took a walk at night in the Lapa, the hot Rio district.
Marche au puces
We found by hasard a Flea market near the Centro. Lots of really old and beautifull objects.
Art Rio
Hier, jeudi _ nous avons visité the ART RIO, Feira internacional de arte contemporaneo de Rio. At the north of the city, Pier Maua. These images are not from the Feira, but taking on the road before arriving at the puerto.
Rio in the Sky
We spent 1 day in the Urca district, visiting the Sugar Loft montain by teleferico, a amasing view on Atlantic sea. Continuing this crasy trip, we decide to take a Helicopter to have a bird view on tSanta Teresa, Lapa,the montain and the magistral Cristo Redentor. Ouf ! Splendide journée.
Dust in Rio de Janeiro
First time for me in Rio, I found this city very different than Sao Paulo. The rhythm, the air, the people … maybe it’s the way that the sea and mountains are so close. I feel very well here, it will re-energy my health. There is some pictures of Dust and Inject performances and the talk I made with Cornelia Lund from Germany. I have to say that the audience at IO-futuro / LiveCinema was very very warm and expressive. Thank’s to Danila and Eva for some of these fotos
Thank's to all the team, warm and kindly. Thank's Tatiana, Marcia, Luiz, Danila, Juliana and Danilo. Very beautifull people _ and Ricardo for the magic Kebe _ hi !!!.
New Work
I was able in the past weeks to start working on my computer. That was great because I have to create a new piece before leaving for Brazilia. This new piece is inspired by Different Trains, the one I presented with the Symphonic Orchestra in rennes and in Quebec. Now It will be in Paris in october with the Ensemble Intercontemporain, the orchestra of Pierre Boulez. They ask me to create a piece with an audio track that they will be able to improvise over the track. It’s very bold for them. They will use the big screen with my video image behind them like a graphical score. I’m really intrigued to see and hear what they will do. It will be presented during NÉMO — SPÉCIAL QUÉBEC NUMÉRIQUE _ DU 6 AU 9 OCTOBRE 2011 À LA GAÃŽTÉ LYRIQUE ET AU CENTQUATRE.
