Two concerts to celebrate the release of {electro/No Type/electro}{actuelle/No Type/actuelle}’s beautiful 4CD box set Montréal Free, a vital portrait of the bewildering free improv scene in Montréal. Be there Tuesday March 25, 2003 at La Sala Rossa and Wednesday March 26, 2003 at Le Va-et-Vient (3706 Notre-Dame Ouest) to rejoice with musicians Sam Shalabi, Alexandre St-Onge, John Heward, Philémon, Jacques Gravel, Jesse Levine, Will Glass and Nicolas Caloia.

Exhibit, album launch and concert for the unrepentant Squint Fucker Press label. Cal Crawford will present his latest opus “sitting on theories on the frontier of extension” and Jonathan Parent will present his first CD, “Littérature,” Thursday February 20, 2003 at Casa del Popolo (Montréal). Moreover, Christof Migone, Alexandre St-Onge and Martin Tétreault will exhibit works from the serie “cover without a record.”

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.
