Biographies
Gilles Gobeil
Following a bachelor’s degree in compositional techniques, Gilles Gobeil undertook a master’s in composition at Université de Montréal under Serge Garant. In the final years of his studies, he was introduced to electroacoustic practices by Marcelle Deschênes and Francis Dhomont. This discovery stimulated in him a desire to commit entirely to the exploration of unfamiliar forms and original timbres, exploring and making the most of the full range of tools offered by the studio. Since the completion of his studies, he has focused his creative interests almost exclusively on the composition of acousmatic and mixed works. His practice falls within what is known as “cinéma pour l’oreille” (cinema for the ear). Many of his compositions are inspired by literary or cinematic works and seek to “visualize” them through the medium of sound. Although his catalogue is comprised mainly of acousmatic and mixed works, he has also made forays into the fields of dance and film. Traces of his experiences with instrumental music are often found in his works.
Monique Jean
Monique Jean is convinced that the corporeality of sound simultaneously opens doors to sensation and meaning. She is constantly looking to explore the imperfections, tensions and clashes of meaningful and vivid sound materials in order to develop a stream of sound that behaves like a complex organism, unstable and constantly transmuting reality into poetry.
