Based in Montréal, saxophonist and composer Ida Toninato develops her art through various projects combining acoustic explorations, the use of reverberating spaces and the creation of hybrid soundscapes. Her latest album, We Become Giants, was entirely composed in a water cistern providing 40 seconds of reverberation. Her recent explorations focused on virtual reality, in collaboration with Montréal studio TREBUCHET. Ida Toninato holds a doctorate in Musical Performance from Université de Montréal.
TREBUCHET is a video game studio specializing in virtual reality development. Founded in 2017, the studio has grown from three designers to over 20, produced two VR games for PlayStation and Steam is currently developing two new VR experiences thanks to financial support from the Canada Media Fund.
