Discover the list of participants for 2026

Félix-Antoine Coutu

Félix-Antoine Coutu works at the intersection of contemporary and current music, rock music (YOCTO, IDALG), and theater (Collectif Tôle). As part of his artistic practice, he has been creating modified sound devices for several years, resulting in artifacts that are halfway between machines, rituals, and dreams. More recently, he has become interested in themes surrounding plant consciousness, which he hopes to explore during the LAB with 5ilience.

Florence is a saxophonist, composer, and gentle sound artist. Through her music, she explores life, as evidenced by her composition Grand-mère (tenor saxophone and electronics). Above all, she loves exploring sound and sensory space in collaboration with wonderful people. With this in mind, she formed the ensemble jardin joue with Gabrielle HB and created the show “Ça me rappelle toi” in partnership with Jeanne Laforest and Samuel Gaudreault.

Jakub Tokarczyk

Jakub Tokarczyk is a Polish pianist and composer, formerly a student in France, currently based in Montreal. He accompanies ballet dancers and composes music for films and animations, always searching for the moment when music “begins to breathe.” Jakub is passionate about nature, travel, light, and metaphysical aspects. He is equally devoted to solo creation and live concerts where he can improvise. In short, he transforms emotions into sounds… and sometimes into smiles.

Mauve Robichez

Mauve Robichez is a composer specializing in film music. She composed for her first feature film in Los Angeles in 2025 and continues her career in Montreal, exploring more experimental worlds.
Her musical aesthetic combines a neoclassical and minimalist style with mixed production techniques. She is particularly interested in working with timbre and the dialogue between electronic textures and acoustic instruments.

Alexandre Roux-Dufort

Alexandre Roux-Dufort stands out in Quebec as a rising star of the saxophone, composition, and arrangement. He offers a sensitive musical universe that straddles the boundaries between jazz and impressionist music. This stylistic fusion creates a refined, calm, and colorful sound. Originally from France, Alexandre has performed at several festivals in Europe and Canada and has collaborated with renowned artists such as the Lost Fingers and Montreal keyboardist Teuteu. In 2023, he made a name for himself on the international scene by winning first place at the Concours international Léopold Bellan in Paris.

Julia Von H.M.R

A Brazilian-born sound artist and saxophonist, Julia von H.M.R. explores microtonality and polyrhythm with strong minimalist influences in their compositions.

Through electroacoustic, mixed, and instrumental music, they pursue an approach in which human experience becomes a field of exploration for creating unique experimental soundscapes.

Noah Tremblay-Mimouni

Mimouni, or Noah Tremblay-Mimouni, is a little human who loves trees, rivers, clouds, and colorful harmonic progressions. In his spare time, this strange bearded hermit attempts to translate the beautiful landscapes, stories, and characters of his imagination through the textures, colors, and soundscapes of his music, which is at times contemplative and dreamy, at times intense and percussive. Fascinated by the mixing of genres, he draws his influences from modern jazz, traditional Eastern European, North African, and Celtic music, impressionism, and more or less contemporary music. He aspires to create music that brings people together and cultivates wonder.

Yan Liang

Rooted in timbral manipulation, spectral approach, and noise, often with a constant shifting perceptive center and subtle details. Drawing from literary sources and inner spiritual experience, her music unfolds through overlapping deformations in which form and narrative dissolve into timbral expression, mirroring states of psychological inertia.
