I can’t see you, but I know you’re there.
On a more joyful note than my last entry, Pheek is throwing a party in Montreal this Friday night to celebrate the release of his new album. Featuring high-quality guest DJs Butane (Berlin) and Tim Xavier (NYC), and local heroes Baya and Kasteniede, all of whom will play on a state-of-the-art sound system by Ledoux Acoustique, it promises to be a memorable night. See you there?

If you are in Montreal tonight, I strongly encourage you to head over to O Patro Vys for the sublime musical experience offered by Moondata’s LABproject series.
The LABproject series is the project that best expresses the concepts that govern Moondata. Based around ideas of collaboration & open-minded approaches to the creative process, it is presented as a monthly event to which artists are invited to participate in a live, improvised concert that has musicians, visuals artists and DJs performing together in a ‘very special one-time only performance’. With a line-up that changes from month to month, many of the participants meet and work together for the first time on the day of the show.
As is the case with many open-ended experiments in music-making, the music ranges in influence - from jazz to psych-rock, electronica, IDM, to music actuelle or pop, at any given show. With energy focused on composition as well as interpretation the listener is treated in turn to cohesive musical themes interspersed with barrier- free exploration. This unique approach that melds improvisation and composition makes the performances dynamic and highly exciting for the musicians and audiences alike.
