PETITE Ecstasy History repeats: l’Artiste ordinaire returns to the expansive universe of Photon Ecstasy to survey for slippery drones, sparkling beats, and hallucinatory, shifting textures. Like the light from distant stars, these sounds arrive from the past, focused by the lens of the duo’s inscrutable and immersive creative process.
This process is the sound of PETITE ecstasy. The gravitational force generated by the combination of Grey’s benjolin synthesizer and Morneau’s trombone pull together programmed beats, Game Boy recordings, a recitation by Dan Rose, and the palatial voice of mezzo-soprano Jessica Bowers.

The visuals in this piece were projected onto a drape hanging from the ceiling. Circles appeared, growning in size before fading away, giving the impression to travel through a vortex. Much of what is seen is audio-reactive, including various waves of color and undulating pulses along the circles.
