Nicole Lizée: Artist Talk
Sept. 13th, 2:00-3:00pm
The day before GS1: Break-Up Music, come hear Nicole Lizée give an artist talk about her exceptionally creative body of work, presented in collaboration with Video Pool. Called “a brilliant musical scientist” (CBC), “breathtakingly inventive” (Sydney Times Herald, Australia), “utterly inspiring” (I Care If You Listen, NYC) and lauded for “creating a stir with listeners for her breathless imagination and ability to capture Gen-X and beyond generation” (Winnipeg Free Press), award winning composer and video artist Nicole Lizée creates new music inspired by eclectic mix of influences including the earliest MTV videos, turntablism, rave culture, Hitchcock, Kubrick, Alexander McQueen, thrash metal, early video game culture, 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.
