Les événements organisés par Brain Freeze Montréal sont aujourd’hui la référence locale en ce qui a trait à la musique électronique de performance. Ouverts aux artistes et aux fans de musique électronique de la région du Grand Montréal, ces événements sont devenus un incubateur créatif bouillonnant, à l’image de l’effervescence artistique unique à la métropole.

D’abord issu de la volonté de créer une communauté d’échanges entre artistes électroniques montréalais, l’organisation a aujourd’hui transcendé cet objectif initial en diversifiant ses activités. Tant dans les soirées mensuelles open gear Brain Freeze au Ausgang Plaza que dans la série d’événements festifs VirtuoCité, Brain Freeze Montréal affirme fièrement ses convictions en se positionnant comme le mouvement phare de la musique électronique alternative montréalaise.

***

Over the past few years, Brain Freeze Montreal events have become the local benchmark for live electronic music. Open to all artists and fans of the Greater Montreal Area, these unique performance-rich shows are proving to be a fertile incubator of creativity for the city's effervescent electro scene.

Born of the desire to create a vibrant community in which the city’s electronic artists could meet up and exchange ideas, over time Brain Freeze has diversified its activities, from the monthly Open Gear evenings at Ausgang Plaza or the festive VirtuoCité events showcasing local artists. Through these initiatives, Brain Freeze Montreal proudly positions itself as the flagship movement in the zeitgeist of Montreal's alternative electronic music scene.

BookClub; This Is How You Lose The Time War, by Amal El-Mohtar & Max Gladstone

DateSaturday, December 30, 2023
Time4 pm – 6 pm

In this cold december month, we have chosen to read "This Is How You Lose The Time War" together. It is written by Amal El-Mohtar & Max Gladstone, and as usual we will drink a tea that pairs well with the book as we discuss it.

"Among the ashes of a dying world, an agent of the Commandant finds a letter. It reads: Burn before reading. Thus begins an unlikely correspondence between two rival agents hellbent on securing the best possible future for their warring factions. Now, what began as a taunt, a battlefield boast, grows into something more. Something epic. Something romantic. Something that could change the past and the future.

Except the discovery of their bond would mean death for each of them. There's still a war going on, after all. And someone has to win that war."

You can chose to read the book in the language of your choice, and you can find it at our partners down below. Every meeting we check who needs what for the next bookclub, and we make sure copies are received. Come talk to us for more details!

If you have read already, or want to join our bookclub for this reading (or the next one), you can simply come at the meeting! Plus, this will let you participate in the selection of futur books and take part in group order, benefiting from the different perks our club offers!


If you need a copy for this month, or the next month's book, "Under the Whispering Door", by TJ Klune, here's the link to get the book at Saga, the best bookstore in town;
