The CD launch of Bathymetric Terrains is on Saturday, February 15th @ 2 PM. The Music Room, 6181 Lady Hammond Rd, Halifax. Free admission! Join us if you can.

Bathymetric Terrains is finished! We’re in the final rehearsals in preparation for the premiere on Sun. Aug 25, 2019 (2pm to 3pm) at the 21st Century Guitar conference in Ottawa. We’ll be presenting the work in Freiman Hall at the University of Ottawa.

Here’s a few pictures of the setup. We’re using DPA microphones for the guitar and two flutes; a MIDI mouse foot pedal to forward events; Max/MSP/Jitter to run the processing and playback of sound files and video; and everything is routed through the MOTU 828 Ultralight audio interface.

We are thrilled to have won the 2019 ECMA Award for Classical Composition of the Year for the work Ex Tempore!

The Charke~Cormier Duo is thrilled to have received 2 ECMA nominations for our debut album, Ex Tempore for Classical Recording of the Year, and Classical Composition of the Year for the title track, Ex Tempore!
