A Lizée double-feature
Our online complimentary season continues with two of Nicole Lizée’s most striking works, incorporating performance, electronics and video.
“Tarantino Études” for bass flute, soundtrack and video was commissioned and premiered by flutist extraordinaire Mark Takeshi McGregor. This work has a warning for explicit violence,
strong language and drug use.
This version of “Hitchcock Études” features six players with soundtrack and video. Nicole Lizée writes that “the premise for “Hitchcock Études” is centred around my ongoing preoccupation with the fallibility of media. Technology has the potential to fail and can fail in spectacular ways, crating fascinating sounds and visuals. How to capture and replicate these beautiful mistakes?”
