INTRODUCTION
By Sean Ferguson – Professor of Composition, Director of the Digital Composition Studios, Associate Director of the CIRMMT, Schulich School of Music of McGill University
SOUND – COLOUR :: THE SOMATIC AND DIGITAL IN AUDIO-VISUAL PERFORMANCES
Alexandre Burton will talk about the Cubing audiovisual performance. which explores musical gestures through the relationship between colour and sound … it’s a performance during which the public directly follows the creative process.
Alexandre Burton – Composer, digital instrument-maker, researcher, Artificiel
SOUND – SPACE :: THE MEDIUM IS THE SPACE
Robert Normandeau will talk about his research into virtual aspects of the acoustic medium. Immersion creates the spatialization of timbre: the whole spectra is found only virtually in the space of the concert hall. Each point of projected sound represents only a part of the ensemble.
Robert Normandeau – Composer and Professor in Electrocoustic Music, Université de Montréal
SOUND – IMMERSION :: THE FABRIC OF WIND SPACE ARCHITECTURE AND MULTI CHANNEL SOUND
Steve Heimbecker will emphasize new sound experiences and the related immersive possibilities. His work is based on sound compression in time and in space. Most recently he has created an immersive 64 channel useful for exploring how sound is distributed.
Steve Heimbecker – Artist
SOUND – SCENOGRAPHY :: CREATING SPATIAL SOUND STRUCTURES THROUGH VIMIC
Nils Peter will relate scenic representations and the use of space while demonstrating the realities and limitations of software that enables the composition of 360-degree music.
Nils Peters – PHD Candidate in Music Technology, McGill University
