Léa Tremblay

Journaliste culturelle — Montréal, Canada

Léa Tremblay is a cultural journalist and arts writer based in Montréal, specialising in electronic music, digital art, and the francophone creative technology scene. She contributes English and French content to Amplify DAI, with a particular focus on the North American electronic arts ecosystem and its connections to Latin America.

Formation et parcours

Léa a étudié la Communication et les Études culturelles à l’Université Concordia de Montréal, où elle a obtenu son baccalauréat en 2014. Sa formation l’a amenée à croiser les études médiatiques avec la théorie des arts numériques, dans un département reconnu pour ses liens avec la pratique artistique locale — Concordia héberge notamment le Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Society and Culture, qui a informé son approche critique des technologies culturelles. Après ses études, elle a collaboré avec plusieurs médias culturels québécois avant de se consacrer à la couverture spécialisée des arts électroniques.

Couverture de MUTEK

Since 2016, Léa has covered MUTEK Montréal — one of the world’s leading festivals for digital creativity and electronic music — as a journalist and critic. Her reporting focuses on the intersection of live performance, generative systems, and artist process, with particular attention to artists working with modular synthesis, live coding environments, and AI-assisted composition. She has written about MUTEK editions in Montréal, Barcelona, and Buenos Aires, which is where her collaboration with Valentina Rueda began in 2022.

En Amplify DAI

Léa contributes artist profiles and feature texts in both English and French for the English section of Amplify DAI. Her work on the platform centres on artists from the francophone and anglophone electronic arts world, and on the connections between North American and Latin American experimental music scenes that MUTEK has helped build over two decades.
