Erin Gee (TIO’TIA:KE – Montreal) is a multidisciplinary artist and assistant professor in the Faculty of Music at Université de Montréal. Her expanded vision of music explores the body as an instrument, using sonic information—often derived from biofeedback—to compose physiological and emotional experiences. Grounded in feminist and queer thought, Gee blends DIY affective technologies with vocal techniques inspired by ASMR, clinical psychology, and hypnotism to create music that directly operates on the listener's consciousness through imagination. She conceptualizes the body as wetware, a vital counterpart to hardware and software in electronic music. Her creative practice spans neural networks, virtual reality, robotics, and biofeedback systems, often in collaboration with choirs and ensembles. She has recently explored quantum teleportation and the transmission of emotion through sound as a subject in Affect Transfer (2024) commissioned by ensemble SuperMusique (Montreal). Gee’s work has been featured at international venues including Ars Electronica (AT), MUTEK (AR/ES/CA), Toronto Biennale (CA), Karachi Biennale (PK), and NRW Forum (DE).
