Normandeau, a native of Quebec, is an influential composer and a brilliant sound diffusionist. He has been a Professor of electroacoustic music composition at Université de Montréal since 1999.

He has received two Prix Opus from the Conseil québécois de la musique (CQM) in 1999: “Composer of the Year” and “Record of the Year – Contemporary Music” for Figures (IMED 0944).
Hron, a professional recorder player and composer who hails from Alberta, Canada, is an incredible performer and improviser who has commissioned and released two full albums of music for recorders and live electronics. Many foundations and artist organizations have awarded Terri scholarships, prizes and residencies, including the Banff Centre, the Canada Council for the Arts, the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music and Media Technologies, and the Alberta Foundation for the Arts.
