This workshop continues from the Workshop on embodiment and music creation (I) hosted on February 3, 2026 at the Université de Montréal (in French).

Description

Following Atau Tanaka's distinguished lecture on February 2nd, these workshops, taking the form of a masterclass with our guest, brings together artists and researchers to reflect on embodiment, gesture, and technological mediation in contemporary music creation. Atau Tanaka's pioneering work—spanning sensor-based performance, bio-signals, mobile technologies, and corporeal interfaces—offers a unique lens on how the body can become both instrument and site of musical thought.
