Bookburner - Stéphane Tétreault Cellist

THE REVIEWS

This piece has one of the most staggering openings you’ll ever hear: turntablist P-Love transforms a dusty old Slim Whitman record into a glorious, delicate call-and-response; a solo cello harmonizes below. It’s simple, ingenious and absolutely gorgeous.

The most spectacular example is the duet between a turntablist and an electric cello on the bonus DVD, for the title “Bookburners.” There is here an ingenious use of selected repetitions of record sequences as motives to launch the overarching cello part. It is lyric and impressive.
