About this event

Natura Sonoris, a multimedia piece designed by performer/sound artist Magali Babin around the audio special effects that have ruled the world of scary movies. Babin has drawn inspiration from the incredible tones used by Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki (Natura Sonoris 1 & 2, Polymorphia), whose music full of subtle details has been so good to the silver screen (Shining, The Exorcist).Beware, things will get tensed!

For this surprisingly lively performance,Magali Babin (who will be playing electronic instruments and amplified metal objects) will be accompanied by her electronica partner Myléna Bergeron, co-composer of the music for Natura Sonoris. They both amplify, transform, and manipulate the sound of their acoustic and digital instruments in real time. By playing artfully with tension, they conjure up unnerving moods worthy of the best horror flicks. Filmmaker Karl Lemieux will be projecting his animated black-and-white images while etching on 16-mm film, all in constant interaction with the music. L’œil de verre (a duo consisting of Carl Fortin and Jean-Benoit Pouliot) will be bringing in colour, handling matters and lights on modified overhead projectors to create fugitive light scenes bent out of shape.True Free Sound Cinema!
