Je me suis lancé dans une entreprise créative considérable : celle de donner naissance à trois heures de musique originale toutes les deux semaines. Cette quête m’immerge incessamment dans l’acte de création. La composition occupait déjà une place importante dans ma vie, mais désormais, mon rituel de création est profondément ancré dans mon quotidien, imprégné d’une nouvelle signification. L’art de la musique est intimement lié au temps. Ces formats étendus me permettront d’aborder l’écriture musicale sous un nouvel angle, imaginant des formes et des rythmes qui se déploient sur des durées prolongées. Parfois minimalistes, ils contrasteront avec des moments spontanés et ponctuels, créant ainsi une symphonie de sens et d’émotions.

La musique m’apparaît comme une vision tangible. Je la conçois en termes de lignes, de points, de textures, d’espaces et d’illuminations, évoquant des montagnes et des vagues, et parfois même ressemblant à des apparitions photographiques. Cette commande radio par Radio Bloc Oral me permet d’explorer ma pratique musicale sous un nouvel éclairage, en m’immergeant pleinement dans cet art. Ce projet de composition colossal est une aventure, dont les directions restent encore inconnues, mais il représente pour moi l’opportunité de m’abandonner complètement, sans censurer aucune idée.

“Échappées Éthérées » suggère une escapade musicale dans des territoires sonores qui sont à la fois libres de contraintes et d’une qualité presque onirique ou céleste. C’est un voyage dans des dimensions sonores où la musique transcende les attentes habituelles pour offrir une expérience auditive unique et immatérielle.

I have embarked upon a considerable creative endeavor: that of giving birth to three hours of original music every two weeks. This pursuit immerses me incessantly in the act of creation. Composition already held a significant place in my life, but now, my ritual of creation has become deeply ingrained in my daily existence, imbued with new meaning. The art of music is intimately bound to time. These extended formats will allow me to approach musical writing from a fresh perspective, envisioning forms and rhythms that unfold over prolonged durations. At times minimalist, they will contrast with spontaneous and punctual moments, thus creating a symphony of meaning and emotions.

Music appears to me as a tangible vision. I conceive it in terms of lines, points, textures, spaces, and illuminations, evoking mountains and waves, and sometimes even resembling photographic apparitions. This radio commission by Radio Bloc Oral allows me to explore my musical practice with a new outlook, fully immersing myself in this art. This colossal composition project is an adventure, the directions of which still remain unknown, but it represents an opportunity for me to abandon myself completely, without censoring any idea.

Whether using the medium of music or image, the overall approach of Félix-Antoine Morin’s work is guided by the aesthetic principle of a poetic execution. Transfiguring reality by shifting it into fiction and abstraction, his creations develop a lyric quality as they pass through multiple stages of writing, transforming, and mutating reality into new, perceptual, visual and sonic imagery. His area of exploration encompasses a wide range of mediums, including electroacoustic music composition, video art, graphic scores, photography, immersive installations, and new media.

In his work, he explores various possibilities of constructing between and within mediums, so that their execution translates into an incantation. This approach seeks to work through a logic of immersion by producing multisensorial work that invites viewers to merge with it and discover the potential of a unique imaginary. In a state of constant motion and metamorphosis, his creations become transit routes for examining various phenomena such as ubiquity, scales of magnitude, infra-worlds, psychoacoustics, and the musical subjectivity of imagery. These perceptual experiences translate representations of the world into universes that are unusual, realistic, or recomposed at different scales.

As a sound and visual artist, Morin draws inspiration for his compositions from traditional and sacred music, invoking the processual approach of ritual.

Félix-Antoine Morin studied visual arts at UQAM and electroacoustic composition at the Conservatory of Montreal. In 2008, he won a JTTP award and in 2012, he received the Joseph S. Stauffer award from the Canada Council for the Arts. His works have been featured in several national and international events. He is also a founding member of the Kohlenstoff Records label.
