Space As Timbre enables the collaboration between student composers and performers from two ACTOR partner institutions in the creation of new works for an ensemble of 6 instruments. The purpose of SAT is to use computer-assisted orchestration, as well as the creativity and practical knowledge of instrumentalists in recreating spatial effects of particular target sounds with the medium of an acoustic ensemble, thereby creating the opportunity to treat space as a form-bearing element in music.

We invite you to join us for a public presentation of our research followed by the premiere of three works on October 11th, 2022 at 18:30 in Clara Lichtenstein Hall of McGill University, C-209 at 555 Sherbrooke St W, Montreal, Quebec H3A 1E3.
