Nicole Liz\u00e9e<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Every so often, MT poses 60 questions to a local or visiting artist in Toronto who has made our classical music community that much more interesting. They pick and choose. The minimum response is 20 answers. A kind of Rorschach personality test, if you will.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Nicole Liz\u00e9e<\/a> is a\u00a0Montreal based composer who has been called a \u201cbrilliant musical scientist\u201d. Her voice is inspired by an eclectic mix of influences including old MTV videos, turntablism, rave culture, Hitchcock, Kubrick, 1960s psychedelia and 1960s modernism. She is fascinated by forgotten sounds,\u00a0analogue\u00a0technology and, “glitches”, which she weaves throughout her work.<\/p>\n
