Sebastien Lavoie
Sebastien began his electroacoustic composition studies has an undergraduate student at the University of Montreal. After that he continued his education and he completed a Master’s degree with Robert Normandeau on the integration of spatialization in acousmatic music as well as its performance in concert. Sebastien is currently working on the hybridization of electroacoustic and electronic dance music with his professor Monty Adkins at the University of Huddersfield, in the United Kingdom. Sebastien regards himself as belonging to this new generation of students in music who use the Laptop as musical instrument. And this compositional tool allows him to develop his musical skills as much on stage as in the studio. What totally gets him in electroacoustic music is the possibility, with technologies, to generate a multitude of hybrid musical forms. Sound explorator, Sebastien travels through the diverse avenues of noise and music in order to capture and compose the novel sounds.Radio is the radiation (wireless transmission) of electromagnetic signals through the atmosphere. Sounds are carried by systematically changing (modulating) some property of the radiated waves. This composition, “Airwave Rave”, simply transmits musical signals loudly and in a wild way.
