Sound creation residency in Sporobole

From May 13 to 27, I am in residence of sound creation at Sporobole center en art actuel in Sherbrooke.
I am really happy to be here and I thank the whole team of the center! During this residency I am composing Rebonds, a piece for the center’s sixteen loudspeaker system. The objective is to explore and exploit the spatialization possibilities of this device. The piece is inspired by the rebound, a recurring rhythmic figure in electroacoustic music.

On October 1st 2020, I will have the pleasure of presenting my work in research-creation at the Colloquium d’études supérieures en composition et création sonore de la Faculté de musique – Université de Montréal.
I will talk about my doctoral research project focused on immersive music composition. We will also discuss SpatGRIS2, the spatialization tool developed at GRIS. We will listen to binaural audio samples, for which the use of headphones is recommended.
