Guest artist presentation / Présentataion d’artiste invité : Noam Bierstone

Noam Bierstone is a Canadian percussionist and curator dedicated to modern artistic performance. Committed to the creation and development of new music, Noam is a founding member of three primary artistic ventures: the saxophone and percussion duo scapegoat, which has extensively toured and performed across North America, Europe, and Australia; the Montreal concert series and performance collective NO HAY BANDA, that has quickly grown to be recognized as a leading voice of experimental new music in Canada, and the Montreal-based percussion quartet Architek. Noam pursues ongoing collaborations with various composers and artists, with a particular interest in works that expand the notion of percussion playing through new techniques, hybrid instruments, theatrical and choreographic elements, and performer-controlled electronics. Noam is regularly invited to perform at international festivals and with leading new music groups across Canada and Europe

Guest artist presentation / Présentataion d’artiste invitée : Myriam Boucher

Compositrice sonore et visuelle, Myriam Boucher vit et travaille à Montréal, Canada. Son travail sensible et polymorphe porte sur le rapport organique entre la musique, le son et l’image. Fascinée par la nature, elle crée de la musique visuelle inspirée du paysage et du rapport que l’être humain entretient avec celui-ci. Sa création est orientée vers des œuvres de musique visuelle, de performance audiovisuelle, de projets immersifs et du Vjing. Les compositions de Boucher prennent forme au sein d’oeuvres de vidéomusiques et de performances audiovisuelles solos, collaboratives et pour ensembles.
