Nicole Lizée

Relevant Tones - A podcast by Seth Boustead - Mondays

Categories:

JUNO-nominated composer Nicole Lizée  creates new music from an  eclectic mix of influences including the  earliest MTV videos,  turntablism, rave culture, Hitchcock, Kubrick,  1960s psychedelia and  1960s modernism. She is fascinated by the glitches  made by outmoded and well-worn  technology and captures these glitches,  notates them and integrates  them into live performance. Nicole’s  compositions range from works for orchestra and solo  turntablist,  featuring DJ techniques fully notated and integrated into a  concert  music setting, to other unorthodox instrument combinations  that include  the Atari 2600 video game console, omnichords, and  stylophones just to  name a few.
