Fiolûtröniq Productions and the University of Lethbridge Department of Music presents Electric Breath / Souffles électriques
Flutist-Improviser-Composer Cléo Palacio-Quintin (Montréal) presents a full concert with her hyper-flutes, including two Premieres by Monique Jean (Montréal) and Karen Sunabacka (Winnipeg). Interfaced to a computer by means of electronic sensors, her augmented flutes enable her to perform interactive soundscapes, combining instrumental sound with electroacoustic music, poetry and video.
Constantly seeking new means of expression and eager to create, the flutist-improviser-composer Cléo Palacio-Quintin takes part in many premieres as well as improvisational multidisciplinary performances, and composes instrumental and electroacoustic music for various ensembles and media works. Since 1999, she develops her hyper-flutes. Interfaced to a computer by means of electronic sensors, these augmented flutes enable her to compose interactive soundscapes, combining instrumental sound and electroacoustic music, sometimes even with video. Recipients of many prizes, awards and grants, she is the first woman to receive a Doctorate in electroacoustic composition from the Université de Montréal (2012) and is a collaborator at the Center for interdisciplinary research in Music Media and Technology (CIRMMT). Over the years her compositions have been performed in The Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Sweden, Switzerland, the U.K., Canada and the U.S., either by herself or various ensembles.
