"the experimental session" est une soirée mensuelle d'exploration sonore entre trois musicien·ne·s de la scène montréalaise. Initiée par la multi-instrumentiste et compositrice Salomé Perli, ces soirées sont une occasion unique de mettre à l'honneur la musique improvisée et expérimentée au Quai Des Brumes, reconfiguré dans un cadre intime pour l'occasion. The experimental session is a monthly evening of sound exploration between three musicians from the montreal scene. Initiated by multi-instrumentalist and composer salomé perli, these evenings are a unique opportunity to showcase improvised and experimental music at quai des brumes, reconfigured in an intimate setting for the occasion. The Montréal-based Swedish vocalist and composer Erika Angell defies categorization. Across seventeen independently produced albums and innumerable collaborations, Angell has been a poetic and audacious force in genre-defying music. Her voice has been described as "a guiding presence" (Exclaim) that "splits the difference between the divine and demonic, skillfully unhinged" (Under The Radar) and "sits alongside the greatest indie female artists who are not afraid of anything" (Le Devoir). Relocating to Montréal in 2012, her career now spans two decades, characterized by a fearless pursuit of originality, an inexhaustible desire to traverse genres, and a dedication to artistic collaboration. Angell melds musical territories from classical, rock and jazz to electronic and avant-garde and she is known foremost for her unconventional artistry with the celebrated avant-rock band Thus Owls. Her debut solo album of unreleased material was completed and expressionist works.

Ellen Arkbro (née en 1990) est une compositrice, musicienne et artiste sonore qui travaille avec des harmonies intervalliques accordées avec précision. Son travail comprend des compositions pour instruments acoustiques, pour le son synthétique, ainsi que des installations et des formes hybrides.
À travers son œuvre, elle explore les qualités du son harmonique qui révèlent l’écoute comme un processus actif de participation créative, invitant l’auditeur·rice à se transformer progressivement dans le son lui‑même.

Vernissage and Performance: Love Songs to End Colonization

Music
Peter Morin and Jimmie Kilpatrick are friends who share an abiding love for karaoke and present it through their ongoing artistic collaboration, "Love Songs to End Colonization / Kanorónhkhwa'tshera Karenna'shón:'a Taká:taste ne Aionkhiia'tó:rarake," a participatory karaoke project founded in kindness, joy, futurity, and engaging a collective voice through singing. By repurposing popular love songs, this project critiques, confronts, and dismantles the historical notions and the current presence of settler colonialism and utilizes karaoke as a methodology for social change. Listeners are invited to perform a song, sing along, clap, dance, or simply witness and soak in love and music to dismantle colonialism, one love song at a time.

Music
anabasine's psychedelic dancefloor sensibility fuses hypnotic polyrhythms and propulsive bass-oriented grooves pulled from a widely dug library of rave musics past and present. A passionate participant in Montreal's underground for over a decade, he was first contaminated with the techno virus in the thriving 2010s DIY scene at venues like la Brique, Tarot, and the Furnace, but developed a certain terminal infection after cutting his teeth DJing acid raves in a WWII bunker at the Psycho Thrill Cologne parties in Germany. He hosts a monthly radio show on CKUT, and works as a sound engineer and producer. In support: CMD, Emil Paquin & somebody3lse
