Vous avez dit acousmatique? Semaine du Neuf - 09-03-2025 - Montreal
Ce 9 mars 2025 à la MMR (Montréal): une plongée de trois heures dans l’univers de la musique acousmatique, immersive et spatialisée en temps réel, avec le résultat de plusieurs décennies de collaboration entre la Belgique et le Québec.
Julien Guillamat et Annette Vande Gorne présentent des œuvres imaginées au sein des studios multiphoniques de Musiques & Recherches en Belgique. En première partie, Annette Vande Gorne, figure emblématique de la musique acousmatique, présente Vox Alia, un cycle de cinq pièces autour de la voix, premier vecteur émotionnel et musical, support ancestral de toute communication. En deuxième partie, Julien Guillamat interprète sa dernière composition, Altitudes, puis un extrait de sa Symphonie de l'étang, une œuvre sonore immersive basée sur le paysage sonore de l’étang de Thau. Les œuvres de Francis Dhomont, Piazza, Ana Dall’Ara-Majek et Robert Normandeau témoignent également des échanges entre Montréal et Musiques et Recherches.

Playing at Akousma Festival 2024, Québec
This October 16th to 18th sees the start of the Akousma festival 2024 with its crazy line-up!
On Wednesday, October 16, I'll have the great pleasure of playing Mare Buchlae from the album Radiolaria,
released by empreintes DIGITALes. It's a piece whose sounds were generated using the Buchla 200 modular synthesizer
(from Elektronmusikstudion EMS Stockholm). For the occasion, these sounds will be spatialized at Usine C on thirty loudspeakers.
In short: Buchla in the space!
Grande Rencontre des Arts Médiatiques - Les Percéides 2024
Takuto Fukuda and myself as blablaTrains, we are delighted
to announce that we will perform an extended version of our Pythagorean Domino at
the
Grande Rencontre des Arts Médiatiques 2024 in Percé, Quebec on September 1st!
Our newly updated instruments now feature an absolute orientation sensor and a more powerful
voltage adaptor, allowing us to perform with higher accuracy and dynamics.
We can not wait to blast our instruments to blow you away! Looking forward to seeing you there!
New album release 2024: Radiolaria
I am delighted to announce the release of my new album Radiolaria edited by Empreintes DIGITALes!
This album features the sounds of the Buchla 200, the iconic synthesizer from the 70s, which I had the chance
to explore from top to bottom during a residency at EMS Stockholm in the summer of 2022.
Inspired by the idea of plankton, I had a great time imagining sounds of underwater species and whimsical,
abstract abyssal landscapes as I improvised with the synthesizer.
The title Radiolaria refers to a species of plankton, represented on the album cover by an original 3D image
created by the talented artist Véro Marengère!

Nouvelle Sortie: Circuit 33.3 Migrations composées
J’aimerais vous partager l’annonce de la sortie du nouveau numéro de la Revue Circuit, musiques contemporaines, que j’ai eu l’immense plaisir de co-diriger avec Maxime McKinley:
L’angle de ce numéro de Circuit consiste à aborder, dans le monde d’aujourd’hui, les liens entre création musicale et migration, ceci avec la scène québécoise comme pivot d’arrivées (immigration) et de départs (émigration). L’approche consiste principalement à se mettre en position d’écoute de quelques personnes professionnellement actives et ayant un riche vécu à partager au regard d’un certain nomadisme et de sa répercussion sur leur créativité musicale. Ce dossier fait, ainsi, la part belle à la proximité du terrain et aux témoignages de première main. Celles et ceux qui ont quitté la scène québécoise la font rayonner ailleurs et génèrent de nouvelles découvertes et collaborations internationales. À l’inverse, les musicien·ne·s venu·e·s s’établir au Québec sont les vecteur·rice·s d’un enrichissement considérable pour cette scène, y multipliant les couleurs et les points de vue.

Cuchabata Records present: 60x44
June 19th, 2022
Montreal (Canada)
I am pleased to share this project in which I participated:
In September 2017, David Dugas Dion (Cuchabata Records) contacted around sixty musicians
to invite them to take part in a gigantic compilation project on vinyl which he wanted to
produce on his independent, non-profit label. Almost five years later (early 2022),
the project is finally coming to fruition! Cuchabata Records will release 60x44
on June 19th during a BBQ organized by the Suoni Per Il Popolo festival.
During the launch, several participants who have contributed their musical
pieces to the compilation will take the stage by storm, in the form of "non-existent" quartets (until then),
giving into free improvisation and other abstract music (or not).
The musicians participating will have their names drawn a few days before the event,
thus not knowing who they will play with. Cuchabata Records presents 60x44,
a vinyl compilation of 60 44-second tracks, from 60 solo artists from Montreal and elsewhere.
Suoni Per Il Popolo would like to acknowledge that the land on which we gather
is the unceded territory of the kanien'keha:ka (Mohawk), a place which has long served
as a site of meeting and exchange amongst nations.

AuXauralities at Hexagram-UQAM, February 1-11, 2021, Montreal, Canada
AuXauralities projet is on residency
at Hexagram-UQAM
from February 1st to 11th, 2021. We will be working on our second
sound installation: Le Cristal de l'Oreille.
AuXauralities project is a collaboration between artists and researchers in acoustics,
where each brings its know-how in a perspective of hybridization of expertise
to develop prototype works at the crossroads between arts and sciences.
Members of the project: Ana Dall'Ara-Majek, Georges Roussel, Philippe-Aubert Gauthier,
François Proulx, Nicolas Bernier and Julien Sylvestre.
This project is made possible thanks to a grant from the FRQ's intersectoral AUDACE
program and to the collaboration between the Groupe d'Acoustique de l'Université de
Sherbrooke (GAUS) of the Université de Sherbrooke's Faculty of Engineering, the
Faculty of Arts of the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) and Sporobole.
Anatomies Auditives at Sprobole BetaLab December 3-19, Sherbrooke, Canada
I am pleased to present
the first results of AuXauralities project
with our installation: Anatomies Auditives.
Anatomies Auditives is a sound installation
that addresses the notion of augmented listening by exploiting
the very particular acoustic properties of meta-materials.
Developed by 3D printing technology, the metamaterials reproduce
digital synthesis processes by materializing them in the form of physical objects.
Inspired by structures from the world of insects, these objects,
halfway between artifact, animal form and architectural structure,
sculpt a new sound environment within which listeners constitute
a specific acoustic community.
Anatomies Auditives was presented at the
Sporobole
BetaLab (December 3-19, 2020)
and a 3D version that can be visited by the public is currently
under development.

AuXauralités at Sporobole, July 28th >> December 18th, 2020
I am very happy to be in residence at
Sporobole Art Actuels for the participation to AuXauralités, a project mixing acoustic research and sound creation in which we use metamaterials to shape sound
environments. AuXauralités is an intersectorial project with Georges Roussel, François Proulx, Philippe-Aubert Gauthier, Nicolas Bernier, Julien Sylvestre
and supported by FRQ Audace program.
AuXauralités proposes a innovative state of perception:
the augmented listening and the possibility for an individual
to put himself in another's shoes, animal or fictional.
Endowed with supernatural listening skills,
one perceives the world from a different point of view that questions our relationship
with environnement and architecture.
This project creates links between acoustic
research and sound art by exploring the properties of meta-materials
in the context of a sound installation.
