À intervalles fixes by Robert Lemay

The Bent Frequency Duo Project performs À intervalles fixes by Robert Lemay. This is a live recording from a performance at Florida Gulf Coast University.
The expression "À intervalles fixes" could be translated as "At fixed intervals" or "at regular intervals". It could be a distance of greater or lesser length between two things, between one point and another, or the space of time between two instants.
In music, the notion of interval refers to the notion of pitches, not distance or time-lapse as in the expression. But I've taken the notion of time from the expression and transposed it into rhythm. You'll hear a regular pulse (regular time intervals), mainly at the Hi-hat, which gradually accelerates from section to section. I superimpose an irregularity on this regularity, with off-beat or contrasting rhythms either on the other percussion instruments or at the saxophone.
The composition of this work was made possible thanks to the financial assistance of the Ontario Arts Council (francophone music program).
