  Double Take
  Grain de sable

This Double Take Event focused on Louis Dufort's spectacular "Grain de Sable" (grain of sand). This co-production with the "Conversations on Culture" – a committee of the Friends of San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis– invited Dufort to present his work in a dalogue with the audience. "Grain de Sable" was performed twice, once at the beginning and once at the end. The discussion took place between the two performances. Chaired by Jeanne Harasemovitch, LSCW, the exchange will explored the work's relevance to psychoanalytic conceptions and experiences of the power of sound throughout the life cycle.

"A marvelous sense of movement and depth is given in the exhilarating shifts from noise to silence and back again that characterizes his music. This is industrial music at its best, demanding total concentration. An education for the ears and a tonic for the mind, a chance to see clear visions with your eyes shut tight." – Stewart Gott, 2001
