Hans Martin
Hans Martin holds a master's degree in composition from the Conservatoire de musique de Montréal. During his training, he studied with Jimmie LeBlanc, Klaus Lang, Serge Provost and Michel Tétreault. Composing instrumental, electroacoustic and mixed works, he is interested in the experience of sound as an acoustic phenomenon. His research is influenced by musical forms stemming from the algorithmic tradition from the Middle Ages to the present day. Martin's works have been performed by l'Ensemble contemporain de Montréal (ecm+), l'Orchestre de la Francophonie, l'ensemble Hanatsu Miroir, l'Ensemble aka, the students of Ensemble Klangforum Wien (ppcm), as well as several other student ensembles such as the symphony orchestra, string orchestra and contemporary music ensemble of the Conservatoire de musique de Montréal, and the ensemble eroc at the Université de Montréal. As a sound designer, he has worked with director Simon Boudreault and students at the Conservatoire d'art dramatique de Montréal, then with director Charles Voyer and Théâtre indépendant. Alongside his work as a composer, Martin has also contributed as an author to the magazine Circuit, musiques contemporaines, and sits on the artistic and administrative boards of cultural organizations such as Codes d'accès and Vivier InterUniversitaire.
