- Program Notes
- âTradâ is first of a series of pieces called GENERIC MUSIC. The term âgenericâ here refers to two things: firstly, that each piece in the series takes as its point of departure the examination of genre and their re-contextualization; and secondly, the use of generated materials, often using various AI tools.
In this case, the genre taken as a point of departure is Traditional/folk QuĂ©becois music (usually referred to as âTradâ), and the set of associations it has for me personally. The basic material taken as a point of departure was transcriptions of the incredible Trad fiddle player âTiâ Jean Carignan playing âBagpipes on Violinâ and âReel KĂ©becâ.
