MERGING SPECIES
ft. Michelle Bawden
MERGING SPECIES is a live performance where gesture, operatic voice, electronics, and stage presence merge into an ever-evolving composition. Using a wearable gestural device, Gabriela Hébert modulates soprano Michelle Bawden’s voice in real time—warping, triggering, and disrupting it. Between them, a dialogue of control and resistance unfolds: two forces in tension, searching, losing, and reconnecting.
The sonic space weaves together modular textures, synthesizers, violin, and operatic voice, unfolding through progressive tensions and shifting rhythmic dynamics. What follows oscillates between rupture and resolution, until the voice ultimately holds what it cannot quite name.
Gabriela Hébert
Montreal (QC), Canada
Gabriela Hébert is an interdisciplinary artist. A sound, stage, and gestural composer, she uses technology to amplify presence, reveal invisible dynamics, translate gesture into sound, and transform space into a sensory experience. Through performance, installation, and interactive systems, she designs and builds devices—from concept to programming and electronics—that bring her vision to life.
Her work has been presented at the Cluj-Napoca Museum of Fine Arts, Société des arts technologiques (SAT), PHI Centre, PHOS, CIRMMT, Sporobole, and Place des Festivals, as well as in dance and fashion contexts in Montréal and Toronto.

Structural Drift
Under the name STRUCTURAL DRIFT, this performance explores the gradual drift of systems, rhythms, patterns, and sensitive architectures toward unstable, organic states. Woven from sonic and visual layers that defy classification (IDM, ambient, field recordings, experimental), the project immerses the audience in an experience that is both intimate and expansive.
The materials he uses stem from a continuous flow of personal recordings—photographs, videos, and audio captured in daily life and during travels—transformed into living structures where memory and perception recompose themselves in real time.
Antoine De Schuyter
Brussels, Belgium
Antoine De Schuyter draws inspiration from the rhythms and structures of nature and his surrounding environment, developing a practice where electronic music and audiovisual performance engage in a mutual dialogue. He deconstructs and reconfigures these forms live, crafting immersive landscapes where sound and image become emotional spaces.
His creations—layered with sensory textures and defying easy categorization (IDM, ambient, field recordings, experimental)—take the audience on a journey that is both intimate and spatial. Based in Brussels, he bridges his background in visual arts with his work as an electronic producer

Blurring Identities
Blurring Identities is a new video and sound performance by Tanya St-Pierre and Philippe-Aubert Gauthier. Drawing from hundreds of Tanya St-Pierre’s paper collages, the performance uses a video collage as a score to articulate sound and music into a fractured, frenetic assembly of timbres, rhythms, and notes.
Philippe-Aubert Gauthier
