The A\VISIONS Series: Digital Creativity of All Forms, at Ex-Centris and at the SAT
A\VISIONS 1, the first showcase of this series, is presented at Ex-Centris on May 30th at 8 pm. An evening dedicated to the burgeoning digital art forum known as Live Cinema, this showcase brings together three internationally renowned artists who specialize in the articulation of sound and images in the context of live performance. Â Randy Jones (US) uses the Radio Drum (a 3D Theremin) to create a continuum of audio/visual particles. Clinker's (Edmonton) work highlights the tensions, connections and variations that oppose and connect sound sources to visuals. Boris & Brecht Debackere (Belgium) and Semiconductor (UK) have both created personalized software to draw imagery from sound. A special showcase dedicated to the cutting edge of experimental film.
A\VISIONS 2, at 8 pm on May 31st, showcases an evening of classical music for the digital age. Working through both minimalism and melody, Colleen (France) revives the viola de gamba, a 7-string ancestor to the cello, which has inspired her most recent compositions. Accompanying visuals created by creative partner and experimental filmmaker aAron Munson, Mark Templeton (Edmonton) plays, samples, and dissects a variety of string instruments as he builds his white-noise requiems. Hauschka (Germany) is a classically trained pianist who manipulates the instrument's interior to produce indelible piano pieces that sound at once familiar yet disarming.
On June 1st at 8 pm, the series moves to the Society for Arts and Technology (SAT). A\VISIONS 3 is dedicated to the purveyors of drone music: experiments in sound, tone, pitch, harmony, and atmosphere. Through a hypnotic medley of minimal dissonance, static, field recordings, and found sound, Jamie Drouin (Victoria) and Yann Novak (US) present their project, Auditorium, an architectural cycle of sound that uses the performance space as its source material. Meanwhile, Berlin's Robert Henke (also known as Monolake) will manipulate loops from a series of rudimentary Chinese sound-boxes known as Buddha Machines (back-to-basics ambient devices built by the sound-artist FM3), to explore the atmospherics of what we know as ambience. For admirers of insinuated experiences and drone music.
The NOCTURNE Series: A Panorama of Style at the SAT and at Metropolis
The series debuts at the SAT on May 30th at 10 pm with a showcase best represented by its lightheartedness and joie de vivre. NOCTURNE I brings together utterly unique musicians who specialize in electronic music's longstanding tradition of kitsch and surreal humour. While Montreal's Pero and The Electric Machine (Montreal) use children's toys to make adult dance music, France's O.Lamm and Gangpol Und Mit go one step further and make children's music out of a disparate palate of nursery rhymes, exotica, B-movies, and toys. Leave it to Candie Hank (Germany) to filter his playful tendencies through breakbeats, making mash-up compositions that gleefully throw questions at taste and tact. This evening, which will reawaken childhood sensibilities long neglected, is presented in collaboration with SID LEE, and is guaranteed to be an evening of surprises.
On May 31st at 9 pm at the SAT, NOCTURNE 2 highlights the best of the international dub-techno and dubstep scenes. As introduction, an ultra-rare set by living legends Moritz Von Oswald and Mark Ernestus (Rhythm & Sound) – who appear here with their prized singer Paul St. Hilaire – highlight Berlin's major contribution to the world of dub-techno, a genre that streamlines dub effects into minimal techno. Then, direct from the UK, rare North American appearances by Shackleton and Kode 9, two notable talents from London's dubstep scene, an innovative genre that fuses dub music with two-step, a more minimal offshoot of mid-90's drum & bass. An evening already highly anticipated by fans of the genre!
For the occasion of the very promising NOCTURNE 3 showcase on Friday, June 1st at 9 pm, the Metropolis will host a massive two-room event to kick-start the weekend. In the main room, several of today's best producers bring new band projects to the stage for an energetic showcase designed to celebrate the organic side of dance music. Hotly tipped Swiss producer Kalabrese and his Rumpelorchestra bring an innovative mix of techno and funk, while superstar DJ/producer Matthew Dear previews material from his new electronic pop album with his three-piece band, Big Hands. Montreal's The Mole keeps the evening rolling with his infectious brand of disco-soul, before joining forces mid-set with the inimitable Cobblestone Jazz (Vancouver), a three-man electronic jam band led by none of other than Mathew Jonson. Meanwhile, over in the Savoy Lounge, eight up-and-coming experimental electronic musicians from Japan, New York, Paris, and Montreal will build a strange and fanciful soundtrack for the curious: O.Blaat, Sawako, Chika, Bubblyfish, Glomag, Decrepticon, Mec, and I8U.
The festival centerpiece, NOCTURNE 4 on Saturday, June 2nd at 9 pm, is an all-night two-room event presented at Metropolis by Nokia and Rogers that features some of the biggest names in techno today. The line-up in the main room gets underway with the elegant and subtle techno of Pantha du Prince, followed by fellow German micro-house producer Jichael Mackson. Longtime fans of Cologne's Kompakt label will be treated to a rare North American triple bill next, featuring live sets by Matias Aguayo (Chile) and Roccness (Germany) - together as Broke - and the euphoric neo-trance of Gui Boratto. To top it all off, techno kingpin Michael Mayer, one of the world's biggest DJs, takes over the decks for a massive three-hour set to finish off the night. In the Savoy Lounge, four hotly tipped American producers keeps the beats to the floor for a more intimate sequence, featuring Ambivalent, Miskate, Lee Curtiss, and Someone Else, and joined by Montreal's Pheek. Music goes till 6 a.m. so bring your dancing shoes!
The MUTEK//PIKNIC Series at Parc Jean-Drapeau: The Spirit of Friendship Meets Outdoor Listening
The return of the incredibly popular MUTEK collaboration with Piknic Electronik! Here, the two organizations join forces for the first of two outdoor showcases, MUTEK//PIKNIC 1, a world-class line-up of micro-house and minimal techno on Saturday at 1 pm at Parc Jean Drapeau. San Francisco's producer-of-the-moment Claude VonStroke drops in for a sun-drenched DJ set, before handing the stage over to a live set from cross-continental duo Chic Miniature. The critically acclaimed My My are up next with their North American live debut, and then the sun will set to a stomping minimal techno DJ set by Matthew Dear's alter ego, Audion, who will prep audiences for one unforgettable Saturday night.
For Sunday afternoon, starting at 1 pm, MUTEK//PIKNIC 2 lets loose a 10-hour music marathon that will run up until 11pm. The BEATPORT stage features a five-pack of jacking minimal techno from around the world. Beginning with Canada' own Jesse Somfay and his hypnotic brand of psychedelic techno, the afternoon then veers toward the new school of Swiss producers with the duo Digitaline, proteges of Luciano and his label Cadenza. A favourite from Richie Hawtin's m_nus label, New York's Heartthrob will pick up the pace with a set of jacking minimal techno. The, make room for the return of San Francisco's Sutekh, who appeared at the very first MUTEK back in 2000. A master of eclecticism, he is renowned for pulling one surprise out of the next. The Festival wraps up as dusk approaches with none other then the Wighnomy Brothers, reputedly the world's most sought after remix duo. If anyone can finish off a five-day festival with a bang, you know they can! (In case of rain, events at Parc Jean-Drapeau will be held at the SAT on Saturday, and at Metropolis on Sunday.)
