MUTEK LIVE of the week: 327 - 329
Every year, during the festival, we record the performances to let you relive those unique moments shared on the dance floor. This week, analog instruments are back on track with Hellgrammite, Page Vide et Quan & D.B.Y..
Hellgrammite
With IPO (Initial Public Offering), Hellgrammite investigates the discarded archives and precarious traces that analog technologies left, as the world abruptly shifted to digital. What in this recent yet dated technological ruin can be salvaged, repurposed, re-contextualized? These contemporary sound fossils will be integrated into their techno, giving it a nostalgic feel.
Page Vide
Page Vide is the collaborative project of Montréal-based experimental artists Sarah Pagé and Joni Void. Pagé’s versatile harp practice meets the cinematic, sample based narratives of Void in atmospheric and emotive soundscapes.
Quan & D.B.Y.
Artists Quan and D.B.Y. share a long history of playing live electronic music on analog machines, such as drum machines and modular synthesizers. Since meeting four years ago, they have combined their expertise to create a joint live performance project based largely on improvisation.
