p(n,r) = n!/(n-r)! a new sound installation by T. St-Pierre and P.-A. Gauthier

“The number of permutations for n=6 possible choices, selected r=2 at a time.” Through this miniature sound installation, Gauthier and St-Pierre revisit the idea and culture of the individual listening station. In fact, they expose listeners to approximately 10 Gigabytes of compositions and improvised sounds, totalling 20 hours of material improvised in tandem via different, more or less mastered, electronic and digital devices. At CLARK, audience members can listen individually or in groups by combining audio tracks played on six separate earphones. In this project, the act of listening, the aesthetics of listening through the accumulation of sound particles, and combinatorics are substitutes for the act of composition. Presented at Centre Clark, Montréal, September 3, October 11, 2015. Excerpts available on sound cloud:L https://soundcloud.com/centre-dart-clark/sets/gauthier-st-pierre-p-n-r-n-n-r

Teaching :: Proposals, workshops, etc.

Over the years, I have developed several workshops, seminars, training and talks on different topics for artists. These are now all available for booking. All of them can range from two hours to several days or even semester-long university classes. They include theoretical and practical works. Here is a list of topics, please contact me if interested. They are all offered in French and/or English.
- 3D modeling with Blender: Images and animation
- 3D printing: 3D modeling with Blender
- Digital audio creation
- An introduction to the Raspberry Pi
- Spatial hearing and spatial audio with applied Wave Field Synthesis
- Modular synthesis (currently developed with Stéphane Claude at Oboro, Montréal).
- History of sound arts and experimental music

Future topics I am thinking of are:
- Audio for games with WWise
- Sound arts
- Arts, Sciences and Technologies in the studio

Scientific publications now available on-line

Most of P.-A. Gauthier et al. publications are now available on-line (full-text) on Scribd: https://fr.scribd.com/philippe_aubert_gauthier/documents

Wave Field Synthesis applied to industrial sound environments

Recently we have been working on sound field reproduction applied to industrial sound environments. Here are some picture with the 85-microphone circular array, two spherical arrays (Pierre Lecomte) and with our WFS systems with 96 loudspeakers and two subwoofers.

"Underground" :: Sound installation at FIMAV 2014
