terre concert serie at the Planetarium of Montreal. In 1991, he co-
founded Reseaux, a concert society dedicated to acousmatic music which
produces the concert serie "Rien a voir" since 1997.
Robert Normandeau is an award winner of numerous international

awarded two Opus Prizes from the Conseil quebecois de la musique in
1999: Composer of the Year and Record of the year in contemporary music
(Figures on empreintes DIGITALes label).
He received commissions from The Banff Centre for the Arts, CKUT-FM,
Codes d'Acces/Musiques & Recherches, Jacques Drouin, Les evenements du

ArturoParra, Musee d'art contemporain de Montreal, Radio-Canada, Reseaux

composition at Universite de Montreal since 1999. He is an Associate
Composer of the Canadian Music Centre (CMC).
Having produced several instrumental and mixed works, his current
endeavors are focused on acousmatic music. More specifically, his
compositions employ aesthetic criteria whereby he creates a 'cinema for
the ear' in which 'meaning' as well as 'sound' become elements which
elaborate his works. Along with concert music he now writes incidental
music, especially for the theater.
