Ventricule gauche ("Left Ventricule") is written for the instrument Babel Table. The piece pays tribute to life and its extremely delicate mechanics. Just like this instrument, our body is kept alive by a complex set of interconnected tubes that converge to a central element, the pump, which clogs up and breaks down with time. May everything be said before the end comes. Dedicated to my friend Nicolas Boucher. - S. Pohu

The audiovisual version of Left Ventricle was performed at the Wilder's Espace Bleu on November 18 and 19, 2021. Émilie Girard-Charest is the performer of the audiovisual version.

This version of Ventricule gauche was performed by Ida Toninato and filmed at Totem Électrique VI, Montreal (Quebec), on 7 June 2014.
