Come work with us! We’re so excited to be teaming up with Arraymusic for this year’s Young Composer Workshop!

Arraymusic’s Composers’ Workshop provides mentorship for emerging composers through creative workshopping, composition seminars, and individual lessons.

This year four music creators will be selected to work closely with members of Freesound and Composer Mentors to develop new pieces (or works-in-progress) to be presented publicly in the final stage of the workshop. Upon selection, artists receive intensive twice-weekly rehearsal sessions with Freesound artists and mentors, allowing each participant to try out and refine ideas. Participants are able to book private lessons with Mentors, and Composition Seminars occur weekly with presentations by the participants and Mentors.

The workshop provides an opportunity for composers to work closely with professional musicians, to learn about the instruments in greater detail, and to take the time to experiment with techniques, sounds, timbral combinations and other considerations.

First recording post in a while! So pleased to have performed Strophe Rocket, by Martin Arnold, this past September in Calgary at New Works Calgary season launch!

This is an hour long piece for trumpet, violin, two melodicas, electronics, and gating. It’s a gorgeous, poetic, and lyrical piece and we hope you enjoy it!

We’re super excited to see this concert this weekend in Toronto featuring Lindsay McIntyre!

Vocalist Lindsay McIntyre sings Morton Feldman’s Three Voices - an hour long meditative work for vocalist and two pre-recorded tracks.

“As a vocal artist, I’m constantly trying to push myself, whether that be in range, colour, sound, or some other intangible thing. I’m drawn to this piece because of it’s beauty and what it means to be making music with past self, but also because of the extreme amount of concentration and stamina it requires from the vocalist. Maybe an ego-centric goal, but maybe not at all - at what point in the piece do I disappear and the music takes over?”

This Sunday ad 7:30PM at Arraymusic!
