BiographIE
Philippe Macnab-Séguin is pursuing his D.Mus in composition at McGill University under the supervision of Jean Lesage. His music is rhythmic and stylistically diverse, reflecting his practice of electric guitar, barbershop, konnakol and pop production. He gives presentations and workshops on auditory sonology and has received over 20 grants and awards for his work, including a BMI Award, the Prix d'Europe, four SOCAN Young Composers Awards and grants from SSHRC and FRQSC.
THE PROJECT
The project I'm looking forward to creating for Art Zoyd Studios is a tight, kaleidoscopic tapestry of interwoven sounds, rhythms and harmonies. Walking along the Gérard Hourbette forecourt, the public will hear in their headphones a web of rhythms created from a combination of intimate sounds, evoking a sense of closeness and interiority, contrasting with sounds recorded on the forecourt itself, creating an explicit interaction between the private and public worlds. These sounds will interweave in such a way that as the audience strolls across the square, tempo, meter and harmonies will literally shift beneath their feet, interweaving with one another in ever-changing, interwoven configurations.
