As a composer I'm interested in ambiguity of timbre, when the sound source or origins of the sound can't be identified. In my acoustical and electronical works I'm striving for unique moments where the parameters of this world are slightly altered to allow a glimpse of another reality to be present. It can be a moment where the timbre of purely acoustical writing gives surprising results or when electronics project sounds into another domain, another space and reality.

Mathieu Lacroix is a French-Canadian composer working in Norway. His music is performed in many countries on three continents and several festival. He is artistic co-director of Electroacoustic Trondheim (EA -T). He is also a member of the Electric Audio Unit with Natasha Barrett and Ernst van der Loo. In 2021 he completed a PhD thesis on synchronization strategies in mixed music. His music aims to make electronics and acoustic performers react to each other and interpret music together as a living ecosystem. His inspirations come from nature, literature, languages, and many types of music, from contemporary to extreme metal and avant-prog. He also plays bass and Chapman Stick, and works as a producer and sound engineer. He is currently a guest lecturer at various universities and has an associate professorship in composition and music production at Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences.
