[Microsound-announce] Saskatoon - à demain (tot morgen)

'Tot Morgen (à demain) is the final of the four part 
'Simulcast 1.0b : Saskatoon', a month-long audio 
transmission event curated by Emmanuel Madan, webcast
by free103point9 every night from sunset to sunrise, 
as observed in Saskatoon, Canada.

In 'Tot Morgen' only one chord sounds. It consists in 
two tritones that overlap each other by a semitone. 
Between sunset and sunrise, the chord sounds 140 times 
forwards, and 140 times backwards. The unlawful sequence 
of its sounding is a sonic palindrome, identical to its 
time-reversal. 

Were it not for the _flies_, it might have been 
'time-less' ...

'Tot Morgen (à demain)' is a night piece. It draws a 
bare but predetermined path of irregular repetitions 
of one single sound, that is stretching out beyond the 
'void' of night ... 'until, again, the roar of dawn' ...

(In the first measure of Stockhausen's Klavierstueck IX 
the same chord is played 140 times in an evenly spaced 
decrescendo during 48 seconds.)
