Martin Tétreault

Martin Tétreault is a turntablist, improviser and visual artist from Quebec, based in Montreal. Coming from the visual arts, he treats the record player as an instrument in itself, working with motor noise, static, prepared records, needles and turntables he builds or modifies. His practice is entirely analogue, and he has been active in improvised music for more than three decades. Tétreault has recorded for Ambiances Magnétiques, Victo, Erstwhile and Oral, among other labels. With Otomo Yoshihide he released a trilogy of live turntable duets that included Grrr and Ahhh (2005).
