My goal is to give a musical sense to the 4 Seasons, with sounds related to the specific season and to spatialize them according to their cardinal direction. Vivaldi did compose the classical music version of 4 Seasons, thus, I’m undertaking the achievement of the 4 Seasons in electroacoustic music. Over the last 4 years, I’ve recorded many sounds to inspire me in my compositional projects. Since I’m living in Canada, I’ve noticed that I had recordings from the 4 Seasons. Thus, I thought it would be great implement these sounds to its related natural elements (winter = water, spring = earth, summer = fire, autumn = wind). In addition, to complement the work, since it is composed for 8 channels, I’ve incorporated the 4 cardinal directions to give a geographical sense to the 4 seasons (winter = north, spring = east, summer = south, autumn = west). So there will be a focus in each season, an attention to the (spatial) location, of the sounds in the composition.
