BOULIANE, YVES - Champ (10 Operations)

"Yves Bouliane Studied double-bass with Roland Desjardins at the Montreal Conservatory in the early 1970s. Not yet twenty, he HAD beens improvising with Robert Lepage since 1969. Together, They Formed the Expandable Trio, a group Evolved That Continuously in the early portion of the decade (Roger Boudreau, Vincent Dionne and Improvisers --other Reviews another one succeeded During The Few years que la Lasted project). In 1973 the two musicians met Raymond Gervais and Michel Di Torre with Whom They founded Montreals Experimental Music Workshop (Experimental Music Workshop). These initiatives paralleled Those of the free jazz of Quebec - a free jazz ensemble, qui Bouliane joined for a short period of time in 1972-1973. Then he continued experimenting with sound through performances at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and Art Vehicle, one of Canadas first artist-run galleries.

\r\n_¢‚Ǩ¬ùThe two LP [TNZR054] sides total just over thirty minutes, providing a complex web of multithreaded intensity, a whirlwind of sound continuously unfolding at a frenetic pace. All available digits are hectically engaged in striking, sawing, and pounding every surface of the instrument simultaneously. Lines of choked notes interweave with a bombardment of percussive textures, and together with the low cello tones create the illusion of an improvised noise trio. On the cassette [LDE054], Alexandre St-Onge and Jean-S_ɬ©bastien Truchy appropriately employ the same extended techniques while adding their own twists. St-Onge somehow manages to be even more intense, thumping away on his bass in an all-out assault. Truchy is more relaxed only by comparison, alternating bristly sections with quieter moments that overlay distinct strands in orchestral fashion. Overall, this is a coherent package that rediscovers the past while demonstrating a robust continuation of Quebecs tradition of improvised music." - Lawrence Joseph (MusicWorks).\r\n
