The first mission of the Ensemble d’oscillateurs is to provide an exchange setting for the practice (still uncommon) of electronic music in groups.

The Université de Montréal’s Ensemble d’oscillateurs is the first music ensemble of its kind at the international level. Diametrically opposed to the power supplied by a computer, the oscillator makes it possible to return to the basis of sound creation: the sinusoidal wave and additive synthesis.

While nonetheless taking an interest in the “early electronics” repertoire, the faculty ensemble stimulates contemporary creation by hosting composers in residence from all esthetic fields in electronic, experimental or mixed music.
