With this album, Canada’s National Arts Centre Orchestra celebrates composer Gabriel Dharmoo’s innovative artistic voice and highlights his contribution to Canadian contemporary music. This album of Dharmoo’s chamber music is the culmination of his collaboration as Creative Partner of the orchestra between 2021 and 2024.Composed after his musical research in India, Moondraal Moondru (2010) explores rhythms, melodies, and ornamentations inspired by Carnatic music, as well as striking sonic memories he experienced in India. sur les rives de (2011) is inspired by his observation of the striking contrast between the two banks of the Ganges in Varanasi.
Beyond his influence of Indian music, the album highlights his interest toward the notion of imaginary folklore, where the interplay between various sonic and musical ideas creates an ambiguity around their perceived cultural origin. the fog in our poise (2016) evokes the ceremonial music of an imaginary culture in which body percussion coexists with playful melodies and textural atmospheres. Vestiges d’une fable (2014) is inspired by the mockumentary format present in his interdisciplinary performance Anthropologies imaginaires (2014). For this recording, Dharmoo sings his own arrangement of the original soprano part, showcasing his rich and playful approach to vocal expression.
Gabriel Dharmoo is a composer and interdisciplinary artist who was notably awarded the Canada Council for the Arts Jules Léger Prize (2017), a Conseil Québécois de la Musique Opus Award (2018), the Canada Council for the Arts Robert Fleming Prize (2011) and the Fernand-Lindsay Prix d’Europe composition prize (2011).
