Félix-Antoine Morin

Félix-Antoine Morin studied visual arts at UQAM and electroacoustic composition at the Conservatory of Montreal. 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. As a sound and visual artist, Morin draws inspiration for his compositions from traditional and sacred music, invoking the processual approach of ritual. In 2008, he won a JTTP (Jeu de temps / Times Play) 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.
