Erin Gee Credit: Caroline Campeau - An artist and UdeM doctoral candidate in music explores how emotional and physical responses and feminist theory can be translated into musical composition. Erin Gee is an artist and composer whose work transcends listening pleasure. She wants the audience to feel her music, to internalize it-emotionally and also physically. Her art lies at the intersection of ASMR, biofeedback, digital media and electroacoustics. Inspired by the human voice, it draws the listener's body into the listening experience. Gee, a doctoral candidate in composition and sound design in UdeM's Faculty of Music, is interested in emotional and physical responses to music, and has a particular fondness for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR), a pleasant tingling sensation that can be induced by digital audiovisual stimuli. Those interests have also led her to use biosensors to measure involuntary physiological reactions-sweating, heart rate, brain activity, etc.-to an artistic experience, and from there to apply biofeedback techniques that use measurements of organic functions to better understand the body's workings.
