The Milieux Institute Resource Centre
EV building, 11th Floor
Concordia University
1515 Saint-Catherine St W, Montreal, QC H3G 2W1

„The Digital Voice Interface is a live analysis of voice which extracts individual features that may control any parameter of electronic sound. The voice is both the instrument and the interface for the live-electronics which is, in turn, infused with “vocality”. Through a demonstration of this tool, a question of vocality is raised: is vocality more than the sum of its features, and if so, does the process of voice lend a greater vocality than the sound of the voice itself? A philosophical, musical and scientific discussion of voice provides both content and form for new works featuring The Digital Voice Interface in live-electronic and chamber ensemble settings.“

Department of Music
MB Building, 8th floor, Room 245
