No Type will launch 3 new releases at Mutek 2003, the lovingly crafted projects of Claudia Bonarelli, Books on Tape and Headphone Science! Moreover, Thursday May 29, 2003 a Canadian all-star crew takes the stage: morceaux_de_machines, Coin Gutter, Samiland and the Diane Labrosse A_dontigny duo.

Rad’a gallery (Montréal) invites you to an evening of improvised new music, Saturday April 12, 2003. Intimate, stunning, magical duets with Diane Labrosse and Julie Rousse, Alexandre St-Onge and James Schidlowsky not to forget the performing e3f1.

You are invited at Casa del Popolo (Montréal) Saturday March 8, 2003 for an aural event of epic proportions: the head on meeting of parasites (the duet of turntablist Martin Tétreault and samplist Diane Labrosse) and morceaux_de_machines (Érick Dorion and A_dontigny, computers) in a sonic clash of beautiful patterns, uncompromising noise, surprising acousmatic movements and — yes! — even beats, scratches and pop samples! Although they have worked together before, it is the first time the four of them actually play as a quartet. Érick Dorion and Martin Tétreault are currently collaborating together on a forthcoming album, Diane Labrosse and A_dontigny will release theirs on No Type in april 2003, Télépathie, recorded live last year.

More than a technical challenge, Machines 08: “Le chemin des machines” is a wonderful networked improvised composition. 4 musicians live through the internet, 8 others scattered in strange places in the Méduse complex and 4 electroacoustic composers to spatialize the result on a loudspeakers orchestra. A prowess you don’t want to miss! With participating artists Diane Labrosse, Alexandre St-Onge, Steeve Lebrasseur, A_dontigny, James Schidlowsky, Julie Rousse, Raphaël Simard, Mathieu Lévesque, Jocelyn Robert (California), Kevin M Krebs (British-Columbia), the Frequenza_Minima duo (Italy) and in the main room composers Jean-François Denis, Gilles Gobeil, Marc Tremblay, and Louis Dufort. February 14, 2003 at 8:30pm.

Nominated for “Album of the year — actuelle, contemporary and electroacoustic music,” Parr(A)cousmatique by guitarist and composer Arturo Parra and Parasites by Diane Labrosse and Martin Tétreault.

The concert by Diane Labrosse (sampler) and A_dontigny (computer), recorded on April 20, 2002 at Casa del Popolo, will be broadcasted by Radio-Canada’s Chaîne culturelle on Sunday September 8, 2002 at 10 pm (EST).
