David Berezan was last heard by us with his 2013 collection Allusions Sonores, but he’s here today with Cycle nautique (IMED 18154). Unlike our two English composers above, this award-winning fellow is strictly Canadian and has held residencies in Calgary and Montréal. The entire set here has a maritime theme, with titles such as Lightvessels, Moorings and Offshore, and creates impressionistic sketches of the life on the ocean wave. However, not content with the usual viewpoint behind the wheel, Berezan also explores imaginatively what it might be like among the submerged hulls bumping about when they’re tethered along the waterfront, and tries at all times to confuse our sense of “place” by treating the ship’s exteriors like interiors, and vice versa. I’m all for letting the seawater flood inside the vessel whenever possible.
