France Jobin
Based in Montréal, France Jobin is a sound artist and composer whose work is rooted in a minimalist aesthetic she refers to as “sound sculpture.” Operating at the intersection of analog and digital media, her compositions explore silence, dynamic range, and restraint to build intricate sonic environments that shift perception. Her releases have appeared on influential experimental labels such as LINE, Editions Mego, ROOM40, and ATAK. Deeply inspired by quantum physics since 2008—a focus that intensified during the pandemic—Jobin’s installations often respond to architectural spaces, creating immersive experiences in unconventional venues and international festivals. Through careful control of tonal extremes and frequency, her soundscapes challenge the listener’s attention and invite deep, focused listening. Her collaboration with Markus Heckmann on Entanglement reflects a shared fascination with scientific phenomena, translating abstract concepts into multisensory environments that blur the lines between sound, space, and perception.
Zak Colello
Zak Colello (he/him) is a sound artist from the Laurentians, based in Montreal. He discovered electroacoustic music while studying sound technologies at Cégep de Drummondville. He then completed his bachelor's degree in digital music at the Université de Montréal and later worked as the audio manager for the Satosphère at the SAT. Zak is currently doing his master’s in composition and sound creation, and has taken on a new role as a research assistant for the Spatial Immersion Research Group (GRIS). Zak records, mixes, and occasionally masters the work of artists in the Quebec music scene. He is a member of the group STAIRS, alongside Oscar Robertson, Marlie Robertson, and Vincent Ménard. He composes electroacoustic music with a focus on sound ecology, unique narratives, and immersion. Occasionally, he creates interactive multimedia installations, such as Chœur Factice (2024) and Sortilège des vagues (2025).
Maxime Gordon / Bénédicte
Maxime Gordon, known professionally as Bénédicte, is a Toronto-born, Montréal-based music producer and sound artist. Her project, launched in 2015, features an experimental approach that weaves distorted field recordings, glittering vocal samples, and soaring synths to craft horizons that delve into introspection and emotional resonance. Bénédicte's distinctive approach is partly inspired by her internship at Budapest's 4DSOUND, where she developed a keen interest in spatial sound dynamics. This experience informs her creative process, allowing her to explore the boundaries between the mind and audio through innovative experiences.
Her recent works, including the EP When It Binds, released in 2021 under New York's Blueberry Records, reflect her fascination with the interplay of natural and synthesized sounds. Currently, Bénédicte is developing a new album and engaging with the local community through soundwalks in Montréal, demonstrating her commitment to connect with people in meaningful ways.
Weilu Ge
Weilu Ge is a composer, media artist and undisciplinary scholar based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Throughout her sonic, visual and spatial works, she explores composition as a critical means to examine relationships between power, system, body, and technology in a social-cultural context. Situated at the intersection of music, art, technology, media theory, STS, and speculative design, her research-creation and practice investigates listening as a creative and critical practice. Her dissertation theorizes performative listening and play as social and tactical means to intervene in the dominant mechanisms of surveillance capitalism, psychopolitics, and algorithmic control. She is an active member of IMUU, an artist collective specializing in working with intermedia narratives to create interactive and immersive experiences. Weilu’s works have been presented internationally at festivals, conferences, planetariums and immersive spaces, such as the SAT, Artechouse NYC, MUTEK Mexico, Cité des sciences et de l’industrie and the Melbourne Planetarium. Weile Ge is currently a PhD Candidate in Creative Practice and Critical Inquiry at Harvard University, where she is actively engaged in art-science collaborations among university departments, research labs and artist communities.
