EAR - a newsletter for choral pedagogues

Pierre-Luc Senécal is piecing together his reputation as curious and dashingly passionate about sound. He's the founder of Dremeka, a music production studio where he assumes the role of composer, creative director and lead audio artist. His compositions for concert and dance bear his fondness for storytelling, drama and poetry. He is a Music Composition masters degree graduate from Université de Montreal (QC) and University of Huddersfield (UK), and the author of a thesis on production, mixing and mastering electroacoustic music. He's the founder of the renowned Growlers Choir, the sole vocal ensemble formed exclusively of metal vocalists. His work has been presented in Canada, Germany, Italy, Monaco, Russia, Sweden, South Korea and in the United States.

1 - Major musical influence (either a style or a personality)? 

Metal music, post-rock and Pink Floyd.

2 - What is your favourite instrument to write for?

Growlers Choir and guitar.

3 - Where do you write your music?

Reaper Digital Audio Station.

4 - Would you rather read the book before the movie or after?

I'd rather no movies be made about the book. Or else that it'd be so loosely inspired they'd almost be unrelated.

5 - Are you an early bird or a night owl?

Depends of how late I am for handing out music, but usually early bird.

Join us on Sunday, May 15 at 3PM and be part of the newest trends in Canadian choral music through this collaboration with the Canadian League of Composers and the emerging artist program, PIVOT.
