Kasey Pocius, Tommy Davis and Vincent Cusson

Originally from St. John’s, Newfoundland, Kasey Pocius is a gender-fluid intermedia artist located in Montreal who grew up experimenting with multimedia software while also pursuing classical training in both viola and piano. Outside of fixed electronic works, they have also pursued mixed-media performances with live electronics, both as a soloist and in comprovisatory collaborative environments. They are particularly interested in multichannel spatialization, and how this can be used in group improvisatory experiences. They are a student researcher at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and Technology (CIRMMT) and Input Devices and Music Interaction Laboratory (IDMIL).

Tommy Davis embraces a versatile career in music. He is driven by the desire to collaborate with multifaceted artists in media-based and co-composed projects and to share the results within his community and abroad. Tommy is currently a doctoral candidate and SSHRC doctoral fellow at McGill University’s Schulich School of Music under the tutelage of Marie-Chantal Leclair. His research investigates live electronic music performance and computer improvisation through a research-creation project called eTu{d,b}e. He is a student researcher at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and Technology (CIRMMT) and Input Devices and Music Interaction Laboratory (IDMIL).

Vincent Cusson: My projects investigate generative, immersive, and interactive audio in various inter-disciplinary art installations and performances. I completed a Bachelor’s in Interactive Media at UQAM and have been assistant researcher for six years at nxi gestatio design lab (NXI). In fall 2019, I began a master’s degree in Music Technology at McGill. I am collaborating on different projects with people from Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and Technology (CIRMMT) and Input Devices and Music Interaction Laboratory (IDMIL).
