A Tightwire Performance and Live Responsive Soundscape of Hamlet’s Soliloquy
Joel E. Mason, Phd student in Humanities at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Society & Culture Concordia University, is performing sound in a 10-minute piece with Francois Bouvier that reconfigures Hamlet’s soliloquy into a tightwire performance and responsive soundscape. Direction and dramaturgy by Patrick Leroux and Alison Bowie. Francois is amazing and delicate to watch.
Shows are Friday, June 10th at 1pm and 2pm, and Saturday, June 11th at 1:30pm and 5pm, in the atrium at 1000 de la Gauchetiere, downtown Montreal (15 min walk from Concordia). There’s no charge. Please make sure to arrive slightly beforehand because it is a brief moment.
Come on down and add some (more) weird and beautiful to your weekend! We would love to see you there.
TERRI HRON: PORTRAIT COLLECTION
Terri Hron en collaboration avec SuperMusique présente
Terri Hron: Portrait Collection
MERCREDI 8 JUIN 2016 — 20H
LE VIVIER, carrefour des musiques nouvelles — 1200, rue Bleury, Montréal
Avec Portrait Collection, Terri Hron met en scène huit instrumentistes chevronnés et les portraits qu’elle a fait d’eux. Elle s’intéresse ici à des improvisateurs qui ont développé une démarche originale et créé leur propre idiome sonore.
Au cours de multiples ateliers en studio, elle a collectionné leurs idées et leurs sons, elle les a ensuite triés et édités en esquisses, pour finalement n’en retenir que l’essence. La compositrice a ainsi créé huit portraits sonores, filtrés par sa propre perception de leurs musiques.
Sur scène, les huit instrumentistes rencontrent et jouent avec leurs portraits. À l’aide d’outils médiatiques — diffusion et traitement audionumérique en direct — Terri a imaginé différents cadres dans lesquels ces éléments musicaux cohabitent.

About the project:
CRYSTAL INTERFACE is a collaborative sound installation conceptualized and executed by Mara Marxt Lewis and Tyler Lewis. This immersive work is a place for listening, and for physically exploring the visual space created by the artists. A landscape is constructed by combining real geological specimens with fabricated ones, the latter becoming physical sound objects through the use of vibrational transducers. A rhythmic dialogue across a multi-channel audio environment grows out of the sonic interplay between these sculptural entities. Crystals function in both scientific and metaphorical ways, interfacing between the animate and inanimate, the organic and inorganic. Crystal formations may appear lifeless, even as corpses, but they hint at life; its growth and movement. In CRYSTAL INTERFACE the active sound environment becomes the life of the crystals, the individual crystal sound objects forming a compound sonic space.
