Studies at Montreal University faculty of music, master degree in musical composition with Serge Garant, Michel Longtin, Andre Prevost; electroacoustic studies with Marcelle Deschenes and Francis Dhomont. Administrative director (1989-91) of the 'Association pour la creation et la recherche electroacoustiques du Quebec', ACREQ, director of production(1988-89). President and founder of the 'Societe de concerts alternatifs du Quebec', SCAQ (1982). Concert master in classical guitar.The catalog contains pieces for orchestra, different ensembles of chamber music, computerized and electroacoustics music. Often played on the local scene, many artists were associated to his creations (notably : Rina Lasnier of the 'Academie canadienne francaise', Jean-Jacques Nattiez,Lorraine and Pauline Vaillancourt). Sentes aux ab2mes des sens wascommissioned by ACREQ and created for the opening of the electroacousticsseries 'Acousmonium' of the festival 'Montreal musiques actuelles', New Music America.My compositions and musical interpretations were recorded by 'Soci»t» RadioCanada', SRC (Alternances, Musique actuelle, Jeunes artistes canadiens) and broadcasted elsewhere in Canada, in United States (ABC), in Germany and inFrance (France Musique, Radio-France, Communaut» des radios publiques delangue franˇaise' CRPLF, guest at the 'Festival international de musiques exp»rimentales de Bourges, Synthese 91').'My music of poetical nature is based on particular types of instrumentation and sound design to emphasize differences in character. These compositions treat different characteristics of play inherent to the instrument or to the handling of artificial sounds with mysticism. The initial idea is always evocative of the particular world it is creating. The liberty of style tends to try deliberately to go off stream. It rather suggests an intimate relation between the auditor and personal existential feelings evoked inmusic, hoping to make the listener forget time...'
