An invitation from the Société de Musique contemporaine du Québec

The melting point is that point of equilibrium between two states, liquid and solid, that starting point of all possibilities.

At the invitation of the SMCQ, Sixtrum participates in this first portrait of a local composer that will immerse you in the repertoire of André Hamel’s spatialized pieces.
