This website is currently in transition. From 2008 to 2011, the Noiseborder Project served as an umbrella for a wide range of activities relating to new music at the University of Windsor in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. These projects included creative work, performance series, educational programming, and research. The Noiseborder Ensemble was also founded in 2008 by musicians and artists interested in the intersection of sound, image and technology. Noiseborder Ensemble performances continue to draw on diverse musical traditions including chamber music, experimental music, popular musics, multimedia performance, electronica and improvisation. Current ensemble members include Brent Lee (saxophones, keyboards, electronics), Megumi Masaki (keyboards), Chris McNamara (electronics), Nick Papador (percussion, keyboards), Trevor Pittman (clarinets), and Sigi Torinus (visuals). The ensemble has been a very successful enterprise with many performances and collaborations, as well as support from the Canadian Foundation for Innovation, the Ontario Ministry of Research and Innovation, the Canada Council, the Ontario Arts Council, and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council. This work continues, with performances planned for Canada, the United States, Italy, and Germany in the coming year, in addition to an ongoing program of research/creation exploring the relationship between sound and image in multimedia performance. There has been a bit of confusion about the nature and scope of the Noiseborder Project vs. the Noiseborder Ensemble, so we are creating a new site for each. Information about the Noiseborder Ensemble can be found at www.noiseborderensemble.com. Other ongoing activities, including the in/fuse concert series, the Electric Improv Lab, the Electric Potential concert series, visiting artists, and the various course offerings related to new music and sound art will be grouped under the heading Sonic Arts at the University of Windsor. A new site for these projects will be posted shortly. Students interested in the Diverse Musics and Practices courses are asked to contact the School of Music at the University of Windsor: School of Music music@uwindsor.ca
