Benoit Delbecq - Francois Houle: Because She Hoped
Così il clima del tutto estemporaneo che si crea in ogni esecuzione è totale e le due versioni di Pour Pee Wee (la prima in studio e la seconda dal vivo) sono completamente diverse anche nella durata. Insieme creano di volta in volta paesaggi crepuscolari dai cromatismi scuri grazie a reticoli di note sospese, assoli pindarici che si librano sulla ritmica ossessiva del piano preparato ("Cliché," "Nancali" e "Ando"), circolarità atonali e rabdomantiche ("Binocular"), improvvisazione a due voci da cui emergono come dalla nebbia brevissimi agglomerati armonici ("Because She Hoped") o anche temi conchiusi, come il pianto lirico di "Le concombre chicoutimi" o l'esotico "The Mistery Song" di Ellington che è uno dei pezzi più belli di tutto il disco.
