Composer and sampler virtuoso, explorer of short-lived lists and gifted displayer of audio states of mind, Diane Labrosse is now focusing on the last breath of obsolete tools, so we can hear their final utterances. A dilettante anthropologist searching for ancient sonic traces — those left by these endangered species, Diane Labrosse will be studying appliances on the brink of extinction: percolator, typewriter, rotating-dial telephone, spring-winded alarm clock… and she will be revealing the poetry of these declining objects. The installation/performance Espèces en voie de disparition will take place from June 6 to 9, 2007 at L’Oblique, Montréal.
