Inner Seas is an audiovisual performance that revolves around the theme of water, its movements, its energy. With this project, Ida Toninato and Pierre-Luc Lecours create a hybrid universe, at the crossroads of instrumental and electronic worlds, where baritone saxophone, modular synthesizer and electric guitar meet. The two creators are accompanied by video projections generated by the sound and projected on two screens placed behind the musicians.

Pierre-Luc Lecours

Pierre-Luc Lecours is a composer and multidisciplinary artist based in Montréal. His artistic practice covers many different mediums and aesthetics, ranging from music to video and performance. His work is characterized by a search for expressiveness in projects exploring an artistic process aimed at drawing relationships between form, format, and content. His influences come as much from the currents of instrumental and electroacoustic contemporary music as from electronic and experimental music. His performances feature everyday objects combined with traditional instrumentation and written-down scoring.

Ida Toninato

Saxophonist and composer Ida Tonniato lives in Montreal (QC). Her artistic practice delves in acoustic exploration, reverberant spaces as she creates sonic hybrid universes in which instrumental and electronic are intimatelly intertwinde. Her most recent album, We Become giants, has been entirely composed in a former water cistern with a 40 seconds long reverb (Dragon’s eye recordings, 2020). Her collaborations have roots in different styles and medium, such as contemporary and improvised music, ambient and cinema.
