What do you do?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I work at the <a href=\"https:\/\/canada-culture.org\/\">Canadian Cultural Center<\/a> in Paris where I am a programmer. I program for our venue, I set up partnerships with events all over France that program artists from Canada and I advise Canadian artists and their teams who wish to develop the French market. I only work with Canada (yes the whole country)&nbsp; but mainly the French-speaking Canadian market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What are you listening to?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lately I was listening a lot to Bonnie Prince Billy, Childish Gambino, <em>Metals <\/em>by Feist, <em>The Jungle<\/em> by Plants and Animals, <em>Room with a View<\/em> by Rone, Einst\u00fcrzende Neubauten, Louis-Jean Cormier and daily dose of WHY ?, Erik Satie, Chilly Gonzales or Claude Debussy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How do you discover new music?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I like to use Spotify&#8217;s random playlists, I like to listen to what my network shares on Facebook, I listen to the radio (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fip.fr\/\">FIP radio<\/a>), I share a lot of things in private with my friends and my network of programmers in France or Canada. For my work I have to do old-fashioned sourcing on musical and regional network sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What formats do you usually listen to? LP, CD, Cassette, Digital, Streaming Services? Why?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I mainly listen to digital music and like having CDs in my car. I also have a few vinyl LPs&nbsp; that I don&#8217;t listen to enough \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where do you do most of your music listening?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I listen to music everywhere and all day long for work. At home, for my own pleasure, I listen using a small SONOS speaker, at the office and in the street I use headphones, live shows (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.arte.tv\/fr\/arte-concert\/musiques-actuelles\/\">arte concert<\/a>) are on my TV, even in the shower on my phone! I admit that I do take a break on holidays when I listen to a lot less music because I also appreciate a little silence sometimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How do you find and listen to pre-release music?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I often get links to new albums from artists, labels or publishers, it always feels like a Christmas present! Sometimes I get unmixed projects, work-in-progress, and sometimes even rough pre-production tracks. It\u2019s exciting but it can be frustrating when the final result is not exactly what you expected. So I would rather just have the final version and not numerous links which I end up stumbling back on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What are your frustrations with listening to music digitally? Any benefits?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I like to listen to music on a good sound system or on headphones, at the very least not on a computer or phone without headphones. Production quality is as important (if not more) than the artistry for me, so digital is great if you have good devices. It&#8217;s been a long time since I discovered an album on vinyl or CD, I miss it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-large is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;Production quality is as important (if not more) than the artistry for me.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How do you keep track of everything you are listening to?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as I have a song-crush on Spotify, I \u201clike\u201d it right away and then listen to all my \u201cliked\u201d songs over the next few weeks. Often I will end up \u201cliking\u201d both the artist and the album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do you tip other people off to new music? How?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I share on social networks or I make playlists that I will share in public or private with my network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Anything you want to \u201cpromote\u201d?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I am very interested in the Canadian Francophone scene outside of Quebec and I have had a few crushes on some of them like Pierre Guitard, P&#8217;tit Belliveau, Rayannah, Shawn Jobin, Ponteix, Genevi\u00e8ve Toupin, Mehdi Cayenne, the Hay Babies. The Quebec music scene in Canada is, of course, also extremely rich like Louis-Jean Cormier, Elisapie, Marie-Pierre Arthur, Pascale Picard, Ariane Moffatt, Hubert Lenoir or Pierre Lapointe who do very well here in France and even end up inspiring a lot of artists here as well. &nbsp; By far my latest Quebec favorites are Laurence-Anne and Mat Vezio!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"template":"","tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Hedwige Dhenain: Interview - #HowWeListen from Byta<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Hedwige Dhenain from the Canadian Cultural Center in Paris talks to Byta about music discovery, listening habits and Canadian Francophone!\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/byta.com\/howwelisten\/interview\/hedwige-dhenain\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Hedwige Dhenain: Interview - #HowWeListen from Byta\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hedwige Dhenain from the Canadian Cultural Center in Paris talks to Byta about music discovery, listening habits and Canadian Francophone!\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/byta.com\/howwelisten\/interview\/hedwige-dhenain\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"#HowWeListen from Byta\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/facebook.com\/BytaLtd\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-03-10T14:27:23+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/byta.com\/howwelisten\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/hedwige-dhenain-hero.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"690\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"550\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:image\" content=\"https:\/\/byta.com\/howwelisten\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/hedwige-dhenain-hero.png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@BytaLtd\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/byta.com\/howwelisten\/interview\/hedwige-dhenain\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/byta.com\/howwelisten\/interview\/hedwige-dhenain\/\",\"name\":\"Hedwige Dhenain: Interview - #HowWeListen from Byta\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/byta.com\/howwelisten\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2021-03-10T14:27:22+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2021-03-10T14:27:23+00:00\",\"description\":\"Hedwige Dhenain from the Canadian Cultural Center in Paris talks to Byta about music discovery, listening habits and Canadian Francophone!\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/byta.com\/howwelisten\/interview\/hedwige-dhenain\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/byta.com\/howwelisten\/interview\/hedwige-dhenain\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/byta.com\/howwelisten\/interview\/hedwige-dhenain\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/byta.com\/howwelisten\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Interviews\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/byta.com\/howwelisten\/interviews\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"Hedwige Dhenain\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/byta.com\/howwelisten\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/byta.com\/howwelisten\/\",\"name\":\"#HowWeListen from Byta\",\"description\":\"Music Interviews &amp;
