Mikael Meunier-Bisson (ca)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mikael Meunier-Bisson est un compositeur de musique exp\u00e9rimentale et \u00e9lectroacoustique montr\u00e9alais. Ce n\u2019est qu\u2019aux alentours de 2020 que son attention se pose sur la composition de musique ambiante et de texture. Cette pratique autodidacte s\u2019est rapidement complexifi\u00e9e gr\u00e2ce aux derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es de flirt avec les techniques acousmatiques. Son travail r\u00e9cent cherche \u00e0 se sortir de la \u201clocalit\u00e9\u201d de l\u2019ambient en travaillant le \u201cglobal\u201d, \u00e0 explorer la tonicit\u00e9 sur un mode abstrait, pour ultimement rejoindre les affects, le ressenti, par des combinaisons de m\u00e9thodes qui nous sont encore peut-\u00eatre inconnues. Il poursuit depuis 2023 des \u00e9tudes au baccalaur\u00e9at en Musiques Num\u00e9riques \u00e0 l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al. Sa pi\u00e8ce\u00a0\u201cmusicfriend\u201d\u00a0fut compos\u00e9e sous la direction de Martin B\u00e9dard\u00a0\u00e0 l\u2019hiver 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mikael Meunier-Bisson is a Montr\u00e9al-based experimental and electroacoustic music composer. Around 2020, his compositional focus shifted to explore the realms of ambient and textural music. This self-taught practice quickly became more intricate in recent years as he flirted with acousmatic techniques. His current work aims to transcend the \u201clocality\u201d of ambient music by engaging with the \u201cglobal,\u201d to explore tonality in an abstract way, and ultimately reach emotional resonance through combinations of methods that may still be unfamiliar to us. Since 2023, he\u00a0is\u00a0pursuing a bachelor\u2019s degree in Musiques\u00a0Num\u00e9riques\u00a0at Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al. His work \u2018musicfriend\u2019 was composed under the teaching of Martin B\u00e9dard in the winter of 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

musicfriend\u00a0(2024) 8\u201900\u201d
Faisant l\u2019objet de rencontres franches entre plusieurs tableaux,\u00a0musicfriend<\/em>\u00a0est l\u2019aboutissement de multiples r\u00e9organisations. Teint\u00e9e d\u2019une mat\u00e9riologie suggestive, \u00e0 fort accent, la rh\u00e9torique de ce projet est parsem\u00e9e de doutes, d\u2019essais, d\u2019erreurs, dans un va et vient continu entre le r\u00e9f\u00e9rentiel, l\u2019onirique et le ludique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

musicfriend\u00a0(2024) 8\u201900\u201d
Arising as the outcome of frank encounters between several frames,\u00a0musicfriend\u00a0is the culmination of many reorganizations. Infused with a suggestive and strongly accentuated materiality, the rhetoric of this project is strewn with doubts, trials and errors, in a continual vacillation between the referential, the dreamlike and the playful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Memory Playback\u00a0(2024) 7\u201900\u201d
Cette pi\u00e8ce explore le potentiel du son \u00e0 pr\u00e9server et ressusciter les souvenirs. Profond\u00e9ment autobiographiques, la plupart des enregistrements proviennent du parcours personnel de la compositrice. Dans ce paysage auditif, des fragments d’intimit\u00e9 et de souvenirs refont surface, de mani\u00e8re distordue, presque distante, oscillant \u00e0 la limite de la d\u00e9sint\u00e9gration totale. Alors que ces bribes du pass\u00e9 se superposent, elles cr\u00e9ent de nouvelles images et sensations, transcendant en \u00ab hyper souvenirs \u00bb (Maria Ch\u00e1vez, 2020).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Memory Playback\u00a0(2024) 7\u201900\u201d
This piece explores the potential of sound to preserve and resurrect memories. Profoundly autobiographical, most recordings originate from the composer\u2019s personal journey. Within this auditory landscape, fragments of intimacy and souvenirs resurface, in a distorted, almost distant manner, teetering on the brink of utter disintegration. As these bits and pieces of the past overlap on each other, they create new imageries and feelings, transcending to \u201chyper memories\u201d (Maria Ch\u00e1vez, 2020).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Translucents (Remix)\u00a0(2024) 20\u201900\u2019\u2019

L\u2019\u0153uvre pr\u00e9sente une s\u00e9rie de sc\u00e8nes sonores, avec l\u2019intention de s\u2019imprimer dans l\u2019esprit de l\u2019auditeur afin d\u2019influencer la fa\u00e7on dont chaque sc\u00e8ne cons\u00e9cutive appara\u00eet. Elle exp\u00e9rimente une dynamique entre la perception de la pr\u00e9sence dans l\u2019espace o\u00f9 l\u2019on \u00e9coute et la perception d\u2019un espace ou d\u2019un lieu ext\u00e9rieur.

Translucents (Remix)\u00a0(2024) 20\u201900\u2019\u2019
Inspired by the color panels of abstract painter Blinky Palermo,\u00a0Translucents\u00a0explores the concept of “audio after-image”. The work presents a series of audio scenes, with the intention of imprinting on the listener’s mind in order to influence the way each consecutive scene appears. It is a play with memory, with presence, and with time. It experiments with a dynamic between perceiving presence in the space where one is listening vs the perception of an external space or place.\u00a0Translucents\u00a0is presented here in a “Remix” form that differs from its published release, exclusively for Akousma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
