Pierre-Yves Martel is a Canadian musician and composer whose work brings together early music, improvised music, and contemporary experimental practice. Working across a range of instruments and sound sources, he continues to incorporate the viola da gamba into contexts where it is rarely heard, alongside pedal steel guitar, modular synthesis, and field recording. Approaching sound as sound, he focuses on timbre, texture, and the act of listening itself. His wide-ranging output includes numerous solo albums, scores for film and dance, long-standing collaborations such as the improvised trio Hübsch Martel Zoubek, and original music for the arts and philosophy podcast Weird Studies. Alongside an active international concert career, Martel develops site-specific and long-form projects, including the 600-minute Ephemera and the ongoing Weekly Pieces, often combining improvisation, composition, and soundscape.
