In "Tot morgen (à demain)" one single chord sounds. It consists in two tritones ('diaboli in musica') that overlap each other by a semitone. It sounds 140 times forwards and 140 times backwards, in a time span of 9 hours and 18 minutes, the exact time between the setting of the sun at 8:23 pm on Sunday April 27th and its subsequent rise at 5:41 am on Monday April 28th 2008 in the city of Saskatoon, in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan.
(The chord is the same as the one that in the first measure of Karlheinz Stockhausen's "Klavierstück IX" is hit 140 times in an evenly spaced decrescendo that lasts about 50 seconds.)
The unlawful sequence of the chords' soundings in 'Tot morgen' forms a sonic palindrome. It is identical to its time-reversal: the distribution of the chords is the same forwards as it is backwards. Were it not for the random *flies* (representing entropy), 'Tot morgen' would have been time-less.
It bridges the interval that separates the beginning of a next day from the end of a previous one ... separates the end of a previous day from the beginning of a next, until, again, the roar of dawn ...

"Tot morgen (à demain)" was commissioned in 2008 by Canadian curator Emmanuel Madan as part of the radio project 'Simulcast 1.0: Saskatoon', « a temporary condition to conceive the relationship between radio and eternity ».

I picked up the cover picture (little girl with lips, on the photo paper, smeared red—"pretty lips are red" / « les jolies lèvres ont du rouge ») somewhere around the Montreuil flea market, one day late 2007.
