Hi, I am Vincent Laberge, aka Matekon, a master in mathematics and an amateur composer from Montréal.
As a thinker, I enjoy finding new ways of seeing familiar topics, mainly in mathematics and philosophy. I therefore want to share with you my take on them.
As an artist, I consider myself pretty creative, but I am also convinced that creativity is mainly a derivative process and that it is impossible to come up with a completely original idea. I am inspired by many composers, mainly modern, and I want to share with you my take on their musical findings.
You can look up here about my music taste, here about my favorite classical pieces and here about my favorite albums.
