(This is not an official IRCAM communique...  So ddon't blame them!)

All of the concerts in the previous article which were listed as
featuring only "Repons" will also include Boulez' "Dialogue de
l'ombre double" written for a clarinettist and tapes, and dedicated
to Luciano Berio for his 60th birthday (1985).

Incidentally, the commemorative programme book for the tour is an
impressive collection of articles on IRCAM, the EIC and contemporary
music, as well as programme notes on the composers and the pieces
being performed.  It also contains the IRCAM discography and the
IEC repertory.
