« …then one day, I heard Hymnen by Karlheinz Stockhausen. As a young guitarist driven by the desire to become a composer, the experience of hearing electroacoustics for the first time was like a revelation. My first teacher was Yves Daoust (Conservatoire de musique de Montréal), who introduced me to repertoire and composition. With the help of a Canada Council for the Arts grant, I continued my studies with Denis Dufour and Jean-Marc Duchenne in Lyon (France). I then returned to Montréal where I realized my initial ambition by completing my studies in composition under the direction of Gilles Tremblay. »

« The temporal goals of Baroque constitue a ‘matterism’ which takes concrete situations into account and becomes part of history with an action. » – Claude Gilbert Dubois.

« If I substitute the word ‘electroacoustics’ for ‘baroque,’ I get a definition that corresponds accurately to my approach to electroacoustics. » – Jacques Tremblay.
