M/NM | DigiScores or The Art of Playing With Animated Scores

Interview by Alexandre Villemaire

Additional Information

As part of the twelfth edition of Montréal / Nouvelles Musiques, dedicated to the link between music and image, the world of graphic scores offers a world of abundant possibilities for the listener. And that’s precisely why Ensemble SuperMusique will present the DigiScores concert on Sunday, February 23 at the Agora-Hydro-Québec in UQAM’s Cœur des sciences, featuring five contrasting works by Linda Bouchard (Pandémonium), Nick Didkovsky (Zero Waste), Joane Hétu and Mano De Pauw (La vie de l’esprit), Terri Hron (Mouth of a River) and Nour Symon (Tiroirs bonbons pastel).

By fusing musical performance with the exploration of new forms of animated scores, this program aims to offer a glimpse of the eclecticism and range of possibilities offered by this medium. The concert is part of a European-funded research project entitled THE DIGITAL SCORE (DigiScore), led by Craig Vear of the University of Nottingham (UK), to which Quebec researcher and composer Sandheep Bhagwati has invited Productions SuperMusique to participate. For PAN M 360, Alexandre Villemaire spoke with SuperMusique’s Joane Hétu and composer Nour Symon about what promises to be a colourful concert.
