Parcours et substances sonores du vivant

Conferences, performances and workshops

---

Titled “Paths and Sonic Substances of the Living,” this new edition of the series “Sound Arts and Transduction of Genres” presents a suite of performative lectures and acoustic experiments exploring the intermedia dimension of sound’s modes of existence through the notion of “the living.”

Whether of microbial, cognitive, active origin, or even composed of particles or waves, various material entities vibrate, resonate, respond to one another, listen, and sometimes sense each other, forming interrelations. 

How do the notions of intersection, contamination, or transmutation of “the living” integrate into the sonic and musical approaches of research-creation?

The projects presented here reflect this fertile intersection of emergences, which not only enables transduction between different interpretations of “the living” but also its manifestations within the imaginary. These explorations will be showcased at Hexagram through works presented during two days of actions and discussions.

Internationally renowned researchers and creators from Canada, France, and the United States will come together to present performative sound actions and engage in dialogues on September 29 and 30, 2024, on the mezzanine of the Agora at UQAM’s Coeur des sciences.

An event by André Éric Létourneau* for the laboratory Musiques cachées : écouter la diversité sonore.
