Since 1978, composer Francis Dhomont has divided his time between France and Québec, where he has taught at the Université de Montréal from 1980 to 1996. He studied under Ginette Waldmeier, Charles Koechlin and Nadia Boulanger. In the late 40s,in Paris (France), he intuitively discovered with magnetic wire what Schaeffer would later call "musique concrète" and consequently conducted solitary experiments with the musical possibilities of sound recording. Later, leaving behind instrumental writing, he dedicated himself exclusively to electroacoustic composition. An ardent proponent of acousmatics, his work (since 1963) is comprised exclusively of works for tape bearing witness to his continued interest in morphological interplay and ambiguities between sound and the images it may create.
