Here’s an insight into the immersive part of a program presented at the Satosphère on February 15 as part of Montreal / Nouvelles Musiques, a festival presented every two years by the Société de musique contemporaine du Québec. Performed by pianist Eve Egoyan, Simple Lines of Enquiry “takes us on a slow musical drift that lets us experience the emotional possibilities of the piano and its ethereal sonorities. “Imagined here as an echo of this piece by Eve Egoyan’s long-time accomplice Ann Southam, the immersive video Machine for Taking Time by Eve Egoyan’s life partner David Rokeby “transports us through an impossible panorama of Montreal. Drawn from 750,000 images of the city taken over the course of the seasons and weather conditions, it shows us a city that is slowly transforming, superimposing its different images unpredictably over time.” To further enlighten PAN M 360 users, Alain Brunet interviewed Eve Egoyan prior to this M/NM program.
