Artists // Georges Forget

French composer living in Québec since 2001, Georges Forget began his studies with Christian Éloy at the Conservatoire de Bordeaux in the purest acousmatic tradition. During his Masters, with Robert Normandeau at the faculty of music of the Université de Montréal, he evolved towards a more melodic approach to electroacoustics. A multi-talented composer, his work can be heard in a number of theatre, video and documentary film projects in Europe as well as in North America. His compositions have been rewarded in several competitions such as Jeu de temps / Times Play (2007), Música Viva (2003, 07), 35th Bourges International Electroacoustic Music and Sonic Art Competition (Residence, 2008). Presently working towards his Doctorate under the direction of Isabelle Panneton and Jean Piché, still at the Université de Montréal, Georges Forget continues to explore the use of “melodic motives” as the foundational element of the unity and formal perceptability of the work. His interdisciplinary project involves developing tools which allow for greater ‘sensitivity’ in the exchanges between machine and musician. Georges Forget is supported by the Fonds québécois de la recherche sur la société et la culture (Québec societal and cultural research fund, FQRSC).
