Mapping improvised music in Quebec
A presentation by Productions SuperMusique, in partnership with Le Vivier, the Goethe-Institut and CALQ, as part of a composer exchange and Québec-Dresden workshop-residency.
Productions SuperMusique welcomes German tuba player and composer Carl Ludwig Hübsch to Quebec for a residency in the months of March and April 2025, as he encounters musique actuelle and improvised music in Quebec. His aim is to translate its diverse musical and geographical origins, and to compose a work specific to Quebec, inspired as much by the place as by its social environment. He will be meeting instrumentalists from the Ensemble SuperMusique (ESM) and other improvised music ensembles, including Rimouski's Grand groupe régional d'improvisation libérée (GGRIL) and the Ensemble de musique improvisée de Québec (EMIQ). These encounters will enable him to probe the instrumental practices of these improvisers, to discover what kind of experience they would like to have, and how a new work should ideally be “improvised”. In the end, he will develop a new networked work, incorporating elements recorded during his interviews and workshops with the musicians he met.
Carl Ludwig Hübsch
As co-founder and composer of the Multiple Joy[ce] Orchestra, Carl Ludwig Hübsch has written numerous pieces for groups larger than the ESM. For him, composition becomes essential to realize musical events that could not be realized as easily by improvising, or vice versa, improvisation is particularly fruitful in producing events that could not be composed.
