Michel Butor : voice

Liège à Paris: the soundwork principle :
Created in 1977 for the Centre Pompidou foundation on the stage of Paris's Beaubourg, at the instigation of Luciano Berio, "Liège à Paris" is a fifteen-part composition lasting one hour, where Henri Pousseur takes us on a voyage of exploration, mixing the voices of travellers of divere languages and accents, with the sounds of planes, trains, the atmosphere of streets and Iranian restaurants, noises of every sort, cries, ritournellos, nursery rhymes, fragments of former compositions ("Trois visages de Liège ", 1961) - a polyphonic story through with the voice (and texts) of Michel Butor - leaving Paris for a world air tour...
