Just like his loops of sound and light, Pierre-André Arcand is an artist in a state of perpetual evolution. A renegade of sound poetry, over the last years he has developed installations of sound and visual permutations. Digital mechanics? Electronic acoustics? For {nbio:arcand_pi}, everything happens by mutation! His latest hybrid project, Atlas Epileptic, presents a selection of audio works and a second section of audiovisual compositions. Pierre-André Arcand will officially launch his new album on September 25, 2004, during his performance at Désert, an multimedia event held at Montréal’s des Carrieres incinerator.
