Some have said I ‘manipulated history’: René Lussier on sound archives, people’s voices and Quebec history in Le trésor de la langue

Résumé

Le trésor de la langue (1989) is a unique musical work. A kind of sonic ‘road movie’, it explores the political, historical and poetic dimensions of French as it is spoken in Quebec. In 1989, the work was awarded the Prix Paul Gilson by the Communauté des radios publiques de langue française (CRPLF), while the composition project dates back to 1986. This interview tracks the creative process of the Le trésor de la langue as well as some of the ethical and political issues involved in the use of sound archives and field recordings in this work. It explores music composition’s capacity to scrutinize recent history in order to answer shared questions, beyond what is spoken and unspoken within collective memory and official history.
