Career

He completed his B.Mus. at the Conservatoire Vincent-d'Indy in Sherbrook in 1972, where he won the premier prix in analysis and composition. He completed a D.Mus. at the University of Montreal in 1997. From 1975 to 1978 he won grants to study in Europe, where he took Stockhausen's composition courses and participated in the electronic music studio of Hans Ulrich Humpert.

Returning to Canada in 1978, he became a teacher at the Rimouski Conservatoire, and then the University of Ottawa. His work "Chute-parachute" "was a recommended work at the International Rostrum of Composers and has become one of [his] most frequently played compositions."[1] In 1994, he won the Serge Garant prize, which is awarded by the mile Nelligan Foundation.[1]

gollark: Still working on improving the skynet web UI. Unfortunately JS is evil. I may have to rewrite this component in Rust too.
gollark: Are you still going for the ridiculous "I'll buy all my parts over 3 years" thing?
gollark: ```🚨 /home/osmarks/Programming/skynet/node_modules/cbor/lib/map.js: unknown Statement of type "ForOfStatement"```
gollark: I'm trying to get the CBOR library skynet uses to run, but due to the stupidity of all JS tooling the compiler just outputs a ridiculous error.
gollark: Parcel is a nice zero-configuration bundler, except the zero-configuration approach and the fragility of the JS ecosystem means it just broke for no reason.
