about

This piece is composed of sound recordings made in Quartier St-Pierre in Montreal, as well as material derived from analog and digital processing of these recordings. The piece seeks to make us aware of the acoustic reality that inhabits this neighbourhood.

Following a certain vision of North American modernity according to which the quality of life inevitably depends on the purchase of a car and a single-family house; Highway 20 and its Saint-Pierre interchange were built in the 1960s.

Former city of the same name, the area was annexed to the borough of Lachine in 1999. Inhabited by about 5,400 people, Saint-Pierre, or Saint-Pierre city for the locals, is completely enclosed by enormous transport infrastructures, including Highway 20 and two railroads (Canadian Pacific and Canadian National). Added to this is the current repair work on the Saint-Pierre interchange and a noisy bypass for trucks that crosses the neighbourhood.

The noise pollution found there is the inspiration for the work.
