From Montreal across the Prairies to the North-Western Arctic, down to the Pacific and back through the Badlands. The Mercury minivan took to the road, loaded with recording equipment, tools, DAT cassettes, tent, Coleman burner, sleeping bags and cooking apparatus, spare tires, beer and camera, boots, books and maps. In 'The little man in the ear', materials are presented with little transformation. Only to better the listening clarity did we apply some processing. On the other hand, we took at times the liberty of radically transforming the original sound materials. In 'Surface documents', minimalist, hyperrealistic, documents de surface glides over the surface of the earth, very close as would a zoomed in camera, or on the contrary in wide panoramas, that is where narrative dissolves in the sound material. Christian Calon is a sound artist who lives in Montreal. His projects include sound installation, radio and concert works. Performed worldwide, he is renown for his original approach to sound shapes and narration. He has been honored in major international competitions. His works can be found on the emprientes DIGITALes label. Audio and radio artist Chantal Dumas uses sound to explore new possibilities for narration. Since 1993 she has produced over 23 works for radio as a freelancer; her stories have been broadly broadcasted on public radios and at festivals. She has received awards including EAR International Competition (Hungary) and Phonurgia Nova International (Fr.).
