Océan pour la suite
Sylvie Chenard
À écouter attentivement… — SOCAN — Paroles & Musique, Canada
À découvrir. — Revue & Corrigée, France
Sylvie Chenard has been working on her new whale project, Océan, since 1999. In recent years we have come to know her duo performances on her 1999 CD, Hybride, and on her 2000 CD, Manifeste pour contrer la violence faite aux femmes.
Now in 2002 the whale will be presenting elements of her experimentation and improvisation with some of people who she has invited to improvise with her in duos.
This time the star, plankton, and the sea horse will dive with the whale to the depths of a little marine bestiary that demands to be known and that has given birth to the CD Océan pour la suite.
For the sake of the oceans, for the sake of the world, for the sake of origins from noises before music. From her duo with Maryse Poulin come the pieces “Bestiaire marin,” “Le monde bouge,” “Peau de pays,” and “Souffle”
You are invited to plunge into these three sea-soaked meditations. Océan.

Review
This album of collaboration between Sylvie Chenard (electric guitar), Maryse Poulin (saxophone), Alexandre St-Onge (electronics) and Martin Tetreault (turntables) marks another in Ambiances Magnétiques’s grand series of improvisational avant-garde releases. In keeping with the label’s unspoken promise to abstain from melody, standard time and logical coherence, Océan pour la suite is comprised of duets, featuring Chenard and her invited guests, that bend and break the rules of structured improv. No amount of intellectualizing is going to make most of this noise sound like anything other than noise. That’s not a value judgement, but it is related to my feeling that the key to understanding Chenard’s intensely subjective and ambiguous approach to music is in the creation and performance of the pieces, not necessarily the recording. As a result, one is left to wonder how often a disc like this will find its way off of the shelf and into the stereo. While conceptually stimulating and somewhat rewarding as an end product, Océan pour la suite functions as a reminder of how essential it is to experience work such as this in a live setting rather than striving to capture the feeling at home.

Mademoiselle Chenard était plutôt tranquille depuis quelques temps, il fallait s’attendre à de nouvelles choses précipitamment. La nouvelle artiste de Ambiances Magnétiques nous offre donc deux albums expérimentaux, parfois un peu plus accessibles que ses précédents
