Concert

A three-hour immersion into the world of acousmatic, immersive and spatialized music in real time, with the result of decades of collaboration between Belgium and Quebec. 

Composers Julien Guillamat and Annette Vande Gorne present works imagined in the multiphonic studios of Musiques & Recherches in Belgium. In the first part, Annette Vande Gorne, an emblematic figure in acousmatic music, presents Vox Alia, a cycle of five pieces based on the voice, the primary emotional and musical vector, and the ancestral medium of all communication. In the second half, Julien Guillamat performs his latest composition, Altitudes, followed by an extract from his Symphonie de l'étang, an immersive sound work based on the soundscape of the Etang de Thau. Works by David Piazza, Ana Dall'Ara-Majek and Robert Normandeau also testify to the exchanges between Montreal and Musiques et Recherches.
