Doors will be at 7:30
MUSIC BEGINS at 8. Please come before the music begins so we don’t have to seat people in the dark!
Live and in person, a Quebequois composer/scholar will present a historical survey of Quebeqois electro-acoustic multichannel work presenting pieces by many composers.

DIFFUSION is our festival concerned with multi-channel electro acoustic music, both brand new and historical.
Some of these sound pieces are made with just microphones, some of them are made with only electronic instruments or computers, much of it is made with a combination of all. Some of them are played on 4 speakers, some on 6 speakers and some on 8 speakers!
Listening, in this medium is different from “normal” music, I like to think of it as the difference, on a hot day, between standing in front of an air conditioner, and going swimming in a cool lake.
Seats are taken, the lights are dimmed, and the sound commences, there is nothing to see, everything is “seen” with the ears. This music is for everyone…no prior knowledge or education is necessary.
Please join us for some or all of these nights!
