Description

This workshop will feature a presentation on augmented instruments design and their usages in interactive contemporary music at IRCAM, and especially the R-IoT microcontroller developed by Emmanuel Fléty. Cléo Palacio-Quintin will also present her research on the rebuilding of the Hyper-flutes, actually taking place in collaboration with ÉTS. Others ongoing projects at CIRMMT and a general discussion around the topic of augmented instruments will follow.

Biographies

Emmanuel Fléty

Our invited guest, Emmanuel Fléty, is an electronics engineer at Ircam, where he is head of the Engineering and Prototyping Department. He develops embedded electronic systems for gesture-based interaction applied to scientific experimentation and live performance. He recently presented his thesis entitled “Contributions of electronics for gestural interaction: application to live performance and digital lutherie”, completed at the CNAM's Doctoral School of Science and Engineering (SMI). For this presentation at CIRMMT, he will give an overview of his work, and especially the development of his R-IoT microcontroller.

Cléo Palacio-Quintin

Transdisciplinary artist, flutist-improviser-composer Cléo Palacio-Quintin takes part in numerous premieres as well as improvisational multidisciplinary performances and composes instrumental and electroacoustic music for various ensembles and media works. Her hyper-flutes, which she has been developing since 1999, allow her to compose interactive visual and electroacoustic landscapes with an embodied approach to electronic sensor technologies. In addition to her creative work, she performs regularly as a soloist an improviser. She is the first women to obtain a Doctorate in Electroacoustic Composition from the Université de Montréal (2012) and is a collaborator at CIRMMT. Combining sounds, images and poetry, her interactive works creates sensitive immersive ecosystems, which she invites listeners to discover.
