Bill Tremblay, 12th Annual ODU Literary Festival
No full textBill Tremblay is the author of five books of poetry. The poems in Crying in the Cheap Seats, 1971, were called ambitious and intense, natural and sprawling. His vision is turned in on himself and turned back on the world, on the crises of conscience that envelop all men. The Anarchist Heart, 1977, drew this praise: Bill Tremblay\u27s poems are committed to life… . Tremblay looks at his history and moment, tangles with it all, struggles from it and deals it to us in the poem. Home Front, 1978, brought this response: Bill Tremblay\u27s poetry grows like the broadening light of day: discovering new angles and textures in the old human concerns, seeking out the pockets of shadow which mask true motive and feeling. Of Second Sun: New and Selected Poems, 1985, critics said, There is often a wonderful energy...a kind of whirling energy...he has a fantastic grasp of the way human psyches, especially those in distress, move, and he does not encourage the pale esthetic stuff…but writing about the most important experiences... . Duhamel: Ideas of Order in Little Canada, a collection of poems in the voice of a French-Canadian painter living in New England, has been praised for the way the harsh complex clarity and the paradoxically tender compassion of this book make an extraordinary power for the dimensions of its hero. Bill Tremblay offers a unique testament to a world whose brutal fragility has found no other way to speak. Born in Connecticut, Tremblay now lives in Fort Collins, Colorado, and teaches at Colorado State University
Mixing the Immiscible: Improvisation within Fixed-Media Composition
No full textThis paper will explore ways in which mastered improvisation practice, with the studio as an instrument, is a proposed avenue to bridge the historical dichotomy between what Ted Gioia describe as ‘the aesthetics of perfection’ and ‘the aesthetics of imperfection’. It is proposed as a way to re-embody fixed music, as experimented by the author through the composition of his last fixed-media work. This will be put in the context of a wider trend observed amongst the current emerging generation of composers interested in the aesthesics of the work, by opposition to the previous generations that placed the value of the work in its poietics. The vital and primal importance of practice outcome as practice-based research’s main document will also be advocated for, as these trends are happening in the laboratory of live music
Laser-Induced Circular Charge Migration in Endohedral Fullerenes in the Presence of Ionization
No full textIn this study, we explore the behavior of endohedral fullerenes and examine how different doping species influence the ultrafast photoinduced electronic dynamics. We analyzed a reference fullerene (C60) and two endohedral fullerenes with Cl– and Mg atoms inside the cage using electronic dynamics calculations. By applying circularly polarized light, we observed the transfer of angular momentum from the light to the electron density in these systems. The optical properties and specific excitations were determined through quantum chemical calculations, which formed the basis of our analysis. In the C60 reference system, excitation led to a significant rotation of the electron density and the formation of a large rotating dipole. For the Mg@C60 system, the electron density changes were mostly localized around the Mg atom, resulting in a smaller induced dipole but more localized excitations. In the Cl–@C60 system, minimal angular momentum transfer was observed with an isotropic distribution of charges due to the charge-transfer nature of the excitations. The distinct behaviors observed in these systems highlight the diverse phenomena that can arise and represent a significant step toward developing novel molecular devices

Recent advances in modelling plasmon-assisted electron dynamics
No full textMolecular nanoplasmonics exploits collective electron excitations in metal nanostructures to enhance and control properties of molecules under the influence of light. Different theoretical communities contributed to this interdisciplinary research field over the last years, with the aim to interpret and predict the physico-chemical phenomena occurring at the molecular- and nano-scale. In particular, the fast and ultrafast electronic response of the composite system, i.e. molecule+nanostructure, is a key aspect allowing one to understand experimental findings, such as the selectivity in chemical reactions or the enhancement of a specific spectroscopic signal. Time-resolved methods emerged as ideal tools to study the photoinduced plasmon-assisted electron dynamics in molecule+nanostructure systems. In this Chapter we therefore collect the recent advances in the theoretical development for time-resolved quantum-based methods to study electron dynamics in plasmonic systems. Fully quantum and multiscale approaches are reviewed, with different levels of complexity for describing the electronic degrees of freedom. As a perspective for future developments and applications, we then focus on plasmon-induced electron dynamics occurring in photocatalysis and in enhanced circular dichroism of chiral molecules close to nanostructures
Richard Max Tremblay : Portrait
No full text"For over thirty years, Richard-Max Tremblay has created photographs and paintings focussing on the central figure of the portrait. Through an essay and an interview with the artist, author André Lamarre, privileged witness to Tremblay’s work for over twenty-five years, takes us on a journey of discovery into the creative process, artistic approach, and splendour of Tremblay’s work." - Publisher's website

Considérations sur l’art vocal dans l’oeuvre de Gilles Tremblay
No full textL’auteur explore, en tant qu’interprète, quelques-uns des aspects de la musique vocale de Gilles Tremblay en s’attachant exclusivement à l’étude de la morphologie de son écriture lyrique ainsi qu’aux habiletés qu’elle exige. Le travail sur la voix suit deux voies parallèles se nourrissant l’une l’autre : la nature organique de la voix et ses capacités instrumentales. Là se trouve l’enjeu de toute technique vocale. Tremblay se réclame d’un bel canto inclusif tirant autant profit de la nature profondément verbale de la voix que de ses extraordinaires capacités « instrumentales ».From the perspective of a performer, the author discusses certain features of Gilles Tremblay’s vocal works, with particular emphasis on the shape of his lyric output and the performance abilities it demands. Vocal training follows parallel paths of mutual inspiration: the development of the organic voice itself and that of its instrumental capabilities. All vocal technique revolves around this process. The author concludes that Tremblay adheres to an all-encompassing bel canto approach that draws equally from the voice’s natural qualities and from its remarkable potential as an instrument
