Doug Van Nort is an experimental musician currently living in Montreal. Interested in the many facets of sound as a medium for freedom and expression, he is particularly focused on the role of technology in exploring these possibilities. His work of late manifests in the creative design of new sound technologies (sound analysis, synthesis, interactive systems) in concordance with his continuing practice of appropriating and experimenting with analog+digital technologies (from mixer feedback to time/frequency sound processing) towards compositional and improvisational ends. These inseparable research/creation practices have been presented in the past few years at various venues in N. America, Europe and Asia. Above all, Doug values the social aspect of these practices, and the inspiring collaborations that happen along the way.
