Elle a son Mot à Dire from vocalist, saxophonist, innovator, and composer Joane Hétu presents so much more than merely a listening experience but more precisely she brings together a vast exhibition of life-size art set to sound passages.  Her theatrical performance integrates a mixed cacophony of elements including operatic vocals, eclectic effects, molten wails, fiery histrionics, free-style jazz of an otherworldly dimension, and both chamber music and extraterrestrial sounds.  Her project is reminiscent of avant garde artists, who illustrate the point where art meets music, where chaos meets melody exhibited by the likes of Laurie Anderson and David Byrne of Talking Heads.  Hétu is supported by Sarah Albu (voice), Émilie Fortin (trumpet), Julie Houle (tuba), Luzio Altobelli (accordion), Noam Bierstone (percussion), and Michel F Côté (percussion, electronics), each playing various objects to produce a non-hegemony world adorned with squealing crackles, squawking yowls, exotic chirps, resonating chimes, and an extensive amount of echoing effects.  The recording is an extraordinary performance that is mesmerizing and leaves the listener wondering what this vast menagerie all means to its creator.
