TRIOCULAIRE +

The TriOculaire + ensemble performs the Living Structures series, which is the culmination of four years of exploration in graphic notation by researcher-composer Linda Bouchard.

Three great names in improvisation – Charlotte Hug (Zurich), François Houle (Vancouver) and Lori Freedman (Montreal) – play the game of interpreting the drawings and visual manipulations of the composer using the digital tool Ocular Scores.

Let these three giants of improvised music take you on an explosive and fascinating musical journey that pushes the boundaries of expression.

INSTALLATION

The three musicians are in a triangular formation facing the audience. They look at two screens on the left and right of the stage where a graphic notation created in real time from the analysis of sounds is displayed.

 

Two versions of this installation exist: a scenographic version for a concert hall and a gallery version adapted for smaller places like art galleries, etc.


Technical riders detailing the materials and resources required are available upon request.
