(taxes and fees included)Charbonneau/Amato CA/QC — Synth Works Vol.2
World Premiere
Charbonneau/Amato are formed of a modular synth, a Farfisa, drum machines and mono synths. In their synthetic dialogues and rich electronic sketches, Charbonneau/Amato invoke spacious soundscapes and complex textures with ambient contours, bathed in elegant harmonic layers and wavering rhythms. The pair are world premiering a new live show with material from their first and upcoming effort. The concert is accompanied by live screenings by Montréal artist and filmmaker Joël Vaudreuil, also a member of Avec Pas d'Casque.
Matthew Cardinal & Stephanie Kuse CA — Asterisms
World Premiere
For MUTEK, amiskwaciy (Edmonton) -based musician, composer, and sound designer, Matthew Cardinal recreates his debut album Asterisms live, accompanied by projections created for the project by media artist Stephanie Kuse. Asterisms contemplates emotional textures with constellations of synthesizers dancing around atmospheric themes and rhythmic accents. The visual component features softly distorted natural textures, hypnotic motion and vibrant synthetic colours. The pairing of Cardinal’s meditative audio journal entries with Kuse’s sparkling visuals results in an enveloping and otherworldly A/V experience.
