Homeostasis

Online on august 14th, 2025.

After several years of performing on international digital arts and electronic music stages (MUTEK – Tokyo, Buenos Aires, Chile, Barcelona, Sonica, HYBRID, No Conventional), artists Ida Toninato and Pierre-Luc Lecours unveil Homeostasis, a powerful and organic album born from the encounter between baritone saxophone, modular synthesizers, and a sensitive reflection on the state of the world.

Active since 2021, the duo creates immersive performances that draw listeners into instrumental and audiovisual musical narratives. Their approach explores the porous boundaries between acoustic and electronic, human and nature.

Homeostasis is crafted from the orchestrations of their eponymous audiovisual performance. Recorded in studio, the album blends improvisation, layered sonic textures, and structures inspired by the Fibonacci sequence, ecological principles, and systems in search of equilibrium. Each piece offers a deep dive into a distinct emotional state, revealing moments of tension, friction, and contemplation.

This new release marks a significant milestone in their collaborative journey, following two previous works presented across three continents (Inner Seas, 2021 and Homeostasis, 2023).

The album is available for streaming on Bandcamp (august 14th) and all the digital streaming platform:

A limited edition vinyl is also available via Bandcamp.

Colors and Lines

Online on February 29, 2024.

Colors and Lines is the new album from composer, video and sound artist Pierre-Luc Lecours. This album, made with a modular synthesizer, merges influences from ambient music and contemporary minimalist music. The musical result is close to that of Lecours’ recent audiovisual performances.

The album consists of 5 tracks where modular synthesizer lines, performed and recorded in one go, weave soundscapes where rhythms and melodic lines intertwine and overlap, creating constantly changing sound textures. The colors and lines of the music blend and separate, creating a contemplative and multicolored listening experience.

Available on Bandcamp and all other sales and streaming platforms.

Colors and Lines est le nouvel album du compositeur, artiste vidéo et sonore Pierre-Luc Lecours. Cet album, réalisé au synthétiseur modulaire, fusionne des influences de musique ambient et de musique minimaliste contemporaine. Le résultat musical est proche de celui des performances audiovisuelles récentes de Lecours.

L'album est composé de 5 pistes où des lignes de synthétiseur modulaire, interprétées et enregistrées d’un trait, tissent des paysages sonores où rythmes et lignes mélodiques s'entrelacent et se superposent, créant des textures sonores en constante mutation. Les couleurs et les lignes de la musique se fondent et se séparent, créant une expérience d'écoute contemplative et multicouleurs.

Disponible sur Bandcamp et toutes les autres plateformes de ventes et de streaming.

Paysage Imaginaires

With Charlotte Layec on bass clarinet

Paysages imaginaires explores the aesthetic, perceptive and symbolic relationships between sounds taken from the soundscape (train station, church bells, forest, wind, storm, insects) and recordings of bass clarinet, electric guitar and synthesizers. Composed in Montréal, Paris, and Athens, the musical pieces orchestrate landscapes and imaginary spaces with the intention of creating narrative journeys within constantly changing soundscapes.

Avec Charlotte Layec à la clarinette basse

L’album Paysages imaginaires explore les relations esthétiques, perceptives et symboliques entre des prises de son de paysage sonore (gare de train, cloches d’église, forêt, vent, orage, insectes) et des enregistrements de clarinette basse, de guitare électrique et de synthétiseurs. Composées à Montréal, Paris et Athènes, les œuvres présentées orchestrent des paysages et des espaces imaginaires dans l’intention de créer des parcours narratifs en constante mutation sonore.
