ALEXANDRE SASSET-BLOUIN
bio

Alexandre Sasset-Blouin is a composer and sound artist from Tiohtià:ke (Montreal). Introduced to electronic music through the local techno scene, he gradually explored the experimental dimensions of music and sound. His works and installations investigate acoustic and synthetic sounds transformed through transduction, amplification, and feedback. He uses modular synthesizers, as well as DIY devices that combine analog and digital technologies with recycled materials, to probe the transitions among the physical, electronic, and digital realms. As a composer and performer, he shapes harsh, noisy, and distorted sounds into composed and organized forms, often created for collaborative performances. 

Currently studying for a master’s degree at the University of Montreal under the direction of Nicolas Bernier, his research focuses on new approaches to electronic and mixed music notation. His research is supported by a scholarship from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.

He has also worked independently in design, fabrication, and technical development, creating custom devices, prototypes, and installations for a multitude of studios and independent artists.
