Biography

Ubertelli studied composition and musical history and theory at the Conservatoire de Québec under Armando Santiago. After having earned his graduate degree, he completed an advanced degree in composition with Franco Donatoni at the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in Rome. In 1995, he founded the Black Jackets Company with composers Pierre Kolp, Juan Carlos Tolosa and David Nuñez. During that time, he attended master classes with Ennio Morricone, Luciano Berio, Pascal Dusapin et Philippe Boesmans. Returning to Canada, he completed his doctoral studies at the Université de Montréal with Michel Longtin in 2000, where his thesis was eventually refused.

Following a decisive encounter, he studied Catholic theology, joined the Lefebvrist movement and put a temporary hold on his composition projects. After extensive travels and the publication of his first novel in 2011,[1] he returned to composition in 2015.[2]

gollark: 2.2.6, it's the version the AUR has.
gollark: It seems like two potatOS things trigger timeouts when they don't in CCEmuX: CRCing the potatOS source code, and some font library. I'll try turning it up to 2000ms then.
gollark: Is it "abortTimeout"? If so, what unit is that?
gollark: Also, how do you control how long it takes to error "too long without yielding"?
gollark: I had segfaults when running potatOS a bit, but I tweaked the code to stop it randomly erroring as much and it now doesn't do that.
