Documentaire audio: Art/Culture/Écologie/Technologie

In this first episode of the Innovations Podcast’s fifth season, we dive into questions of creating and listening to music in our constantly changing, industrialized world. In a time of climate change and denial, rapid advances in technology, and an ever increasing migration to cities.

Nous avons invité deux artistes montréalais à l’émission afin de partager des réflexions sur leurs réalités de création sur ces sujets:

1. La compositrice, improvisatrice et saxophoniste Ida Toninato, qui, avec son saxophone baryton, recherche des refuges urbains avec des sonorités profondes. Dans ses espaces elle expérimente et explore les acoustiques, créant un réel partenariat sonore avec chaque environnement.

2. Composer and sound artist James O’Callaghan, whose work intersects acoustic and electroacoustic media and is rooted in the documentation, transcription and transformation of acoustic sounds. He has worked extensively with sounds of animals and insects as well as with other acoustic sources such as instruments from the cla ssical music tradition.
