​Dominique Vasseur is a full-time composer, performer and teacher who graduated as a concert artist from Utrecht Conservatorium in the Netherlands. His work today brings together creation, ancient music, contemporary repertoires , improvisation . The collection of around forty works feature instrumental music – for very varied ensemble ; – electroacoustic works and music for the theatre (Ballatum Theatre, Péniche Opéra, Continuum, Quatuor Sax4, Amadeus Chamber Orchestra, Lille National Orchestra, « Music and Memory » Festival, Haut Jura Festival, Radio France, Vandoeuvre Festival, Editions Leduc, etc.). Many of these opuses were recorded, particularly under the label ‘Signature’ (Radio France), including «Dans le souffle des ombres» (2001) and « I Dwell in Possibility », based on the poems of Emily Dickinson (2006). As a performer and a composer, through a demanding and often non-consensual musical approach, Dominique Vasseur particularly enjoys moving between past and present, memory and imagination, formal thought and free rein. Free from any affiliation, his music does not seek to be defined against a particularly contemporary esthetics, but sees filiation (medieval modality, baroque rhetoric, atonality…) as the first source of a poetic or acoustic inspiration which lies in wait of what might bring us closer, as immanence appears… https://www.dominiquevasseur.com/
