Le MC Challenge End Of The Weak / La fin des faibles a été lancé en 2000 à New York. Il célèbre cette année ses 15 ans de présence au Québec. Présent dans plusieurs pays sur 5 continents, il s’impose comme une référence internationale.
À la différence des battles traditionnels, le MC Challenge se veut un anti-battle : ici, pas d’insultes ni d’attaques personnelles, mais une mise en valeur du talent, du respect et de la créativité des artistes.
Chaque année, une finale internationale couronne une championne ou un champion du monde. Le concept a également été adapté pour la télévision avec La fin des faibles, diffusée sur Télé-Québec.
La compétition se décline en 5 épreuves qui mettent en lumière toutes les facettes de l’art du rap :
• Le texte libre
• L’a cappella
• L’improvisation
• Le MC vs DJ
• Le cercle
Les performances sont évaluées selon 5 critères objectifs :
• Les paroles et la qualité du texte
• La créativité et l’originalité
• La présence scénique et le charisme
• Le flow et le débit
• L’interaction avec l’environnement
Qui saura se démarquer et décrocher sa place en finale nationale?

Bouquet final
19 juin au 23 août 2026

Artistes : Alice Cloutier-Lachance (@alicecloutier), Jérémie Dubé-Lavigne (jeremie.dubelavigne), Nancy Guignard (@nancyguignard_), William Houde (@williamhoude), Mélissa Longpré (@melissa_longpre), Zac Steen (@zacsteen)

Pour son exposition estivale, le Livart a invité six artistes de sa boutique d’art à réinterpréter et explorer une expression de la langue française dont la richesse symbolique demeure souvent méconnue : le bouquet final. À travers leur travail photographique, les artistes en proposent une relecture singulière : à travers l’hommage, le point culminant, la transformation ou la promesse d’avenir. L’exposition met ainsi en lumière la vitalité de la photographie au Québec, tout en créant un dialogue sensible entre tradition et contemporanéité. Dans un monde ultra connecté, marqué par l’instantanéité et la transformation continue, l’exposition invite à ralentir et à redécouvrir la valeur des gestes façonnés par le temps.

Projet soutenu par la Caisse de la Culture Desjardins et le Plateau-Mont-Royal.

Fusion des espèces, dérive structurelle et identités floues 🌌
Le vendredi 19 juin, plongez dans la deuxième soirée du Festival ELEKTRA « Brave Nouveau Monde » à PHI.

🎤 MERGING SPECIES unit geste, voix d’opéra et électronique en une composition vivante. Avec un dispositif gestuel porté, Gabriela Hébert module en temps réel la voix de la soprano Michelle Bawden, créant un dialogue de contrôle et de résistance où tension et harmonie s’entrelacent.

🌊 Structural Drift d’Antoine De Schuyter transforme rythmes naturels et motifs organiques en paysages audiovisuels immersifs. À travers la déconstruction et la recomposition en direct, le son devient espace, l’image devient émotion, pour une expérience à la fois intime et expansive.

🎭 Blurring Identities de Tanya St-Pierre et Philippe-Aubert Gauthier puise dans des centaines de collages pour articuler son et musique en un assemblage éclaté de timbres, rythmes et notes. Une performance vidéo et sonore où les frontières s’estompent.

In Hajia Maa’s current artistic universe, what is tantamount is the exploration of music, wellness and fashion, a space where meditative chant, experimental soul, and ambient soundscapes offer a perspective on rituals of care for the body and spirit. Her project
Secondsight
invites deep listening, rest, and embodied spiritual intimacy. Expect aural-visual delight!
Cyclepunk Warrior Bard

True self-destruction.
Cicada
is dark, left-of-center hardcore howling from beneath the weight of the empire. Based in Richmond, VA.
THE NOT
are aural assault - fuzz washes over everything like a rainstorm, tying the songs together with the sounds of broken glass and sirens. The lyrics are blunt, political and vicious, and the rhythm section is locked to the churn. Their final showing. Noise not music.
Uzu
is a Montreal-based band that blends elements of post-punk with dark, melodic, mid-tempo punk, infused with an incisive energy reminiscent of Siekiera. Their lyrics, sung in Arabic, are poetic and personal, while also conveying political messages about exile, colonization, and self-management.
Muscle Memory

Copresented with LOL (Lots of Love) Festival
June 20 (June 21 in case of rain) Mile End.
Meeting Point and time upcoming, keep your eyes peeled here!
Conjuring FM: Feminist Migrant Frequencies
This radio walk occupies an open frequency on the FM spectrum to create a collective listening experience that weaves together the voices, memories, and experiences of a migrant feminist collective in Montreal. Through sound, the project explores migration as a process of resilience, adaptation, and the search for new ways of coexisting within urban space.
Throughout the walk, participants will tune into an FM transmission featuring personal stories, reflections, and sonic conjurations from members of Colectiva Tribu and activist Tania Gómez. Their voices form the narrative thread of the experience, guiding the audience through stories of migration, care, resistance, and belonging.
The walk takes place within Les Champs des Possibles, a wild ecosystem that persists in the heart of Mile End and serves as a living symbol of ecological resilience within the city. This territory is not merely a setting, but an active interlocutor: its vegetation, sounds, and history enter into dialogue with the participants’ narratives. Throughout the journey, echoes of their voices and conjurations will resonate across the landscape, creating a relationship between migrant memory and territorial resistance.
Broadcast through FM waves, this walk proposes an intimate, collective, and political form of listening that connects migrant experiences with urban ecosystems that are also struggling to endure.
The walk will take place in Spanish, English, and French.
Conjuro FM: Frecuencias Feministas Migrantes
Esta caminata radial interviene en una frecuencia libre del espectro FM para crear una experiencia de escucha colectiva que entrelaza las voces, memorias y experiencias de una colectividad feminista migrante en la ciudad de Montreal. A través del sonido, el proyecto explora la migración como un proceso de resiliencia, adaptación y búsqueda de nuevas formas de coexistencia en el espacio urbano.
Durante el recorrido, las personas participantes sintonizarán una transmisión FM en la que se escucharán los relatos personales, reflexiones y conjuros sonoros de les integrantes de
Colectiva Tribu
y de la activista Tania Gómez. Sus voces construirán el eje narrativo de la caminata, guiando al público a través de experiencias de migración, cuidado, resistencia y pertenencia.
La caminata se desarrolla en Les Champs des Possibles, un ecosistema silvestre que persiste en medio de Mile End y funciona como un símbolo vivo de resiliencia ecológica en la ciudad. Este territorio no actúa únicamente como escenario, sino también como interlocutor activo: su vegetación, sus sonidos y su historia dialogan con las narrativas de las participantes. A lo largo del recorrido, los ecos de sus voces y conjuros resonarán en el paisaje, creando una relación entre la memoria migrante y la resistencia territorial.
Transmitida a través de ondas FM, esta caminata propone una escucha íntima, colectiva y política que conecta las experiencias de migración con los ecosistemas urbanos que también luchan por persistir.
Amanda Gutiérrez
examines the intersection of political listening and gender studies through the lens of soundwalking and radio practices. Gutiérrez holds a Ph.D. in the Arts and Humanities (HUMA) at Concordia University. Her artistic experience has been showcased internationally through art residencies at FACT in Liverpool, UK; ZKM in Germany; TAV in Taiwan; and the Bolit Art Center in Spain. Additionally, her sound artwork has been exhibited at various international venues, including The Liverpool Biennale in 2012, Harvestworks in NYC, SBC Gallery, Undefined Radio in Montreal, Errant Bodies Studio Press in Berlin, POP Montreal, the City of Women Festival, and the To)POT Festival in Ljubljana, as well as the ENSEMS Music Festival in Valencia, Sur Aural in Bolivia, and the Tsonami Sound Festival in Chile.

Created as a community-driven alternative to large festivals, it has been curated since 2021 by Sasha Kleinplatz, Liliane Moussa, Emile Pineault, and Sarah Williams. The festival features a series of performances in unconventional spaces such as backyards, garages, parks, or basketball courts. It brings together artists from diverse backgrounds and generations. Its curatorial approach emphasizes relinquishing control, fostering radical trust, and amplifying community voices, creating an inclusive and collaborative environment that prioritizes experimentation and accessibility. Suoni is excited to partner with LOL this year!

- record 2-3 sounds
- mix to form a 60 second track
- export the track
- learn how to configure for multi-channel output
The workshop moves fast, so to get the most out of the workshop, please arrive on time and prepared with:
- laptop with REAPER already installed and ready to go (you can use the free 60-day trial for this session)
- interface for your computer (if you have one)
- headphones
Pre-registration is required.
If you don't have or can't bring a laptop to the session, no problem - you'll just pair with another participant with a laptop.

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.

Suoni
After last year’s megawatt showcase,
Watch That Ends The Night
records are back for round 2 with a lineup of artists with new releases. It promises to be a doozy. We’ve got post-classical/prog-metal composer
Emmanuel Jacob Lacopo
with his classical guitar & live electronics setup. We’ve got the choral pop/math punk frenzy of
pinksnail
, exuding expressions of fast-food/sex-sads, and a “greatfulness” to be alive. Then there’s experimental pop siren
aniqa dear
whose synth-infused textures and polyrhythms craft danceable music interlaced with stark vulnerability.
Cloud Circuit
is poet Deanna Radford & sound artist Jeremy Young. Live, they blend iterative text, sine waves, 1/4" magnetic tape, and radio transmission, composing, dissecting, and refracting all the while. Rounding out the night are longtime collaborators
Michael Cloud Duguay & Andrew Mackelvie
, both contemporary creative musicians and co-creative directors of the co-hosting label; their performance at Suoni will, somehow, be their first time performing as a duo.
Emmanuel Jacob Lacopo
is a post-classical guitarist and composer exploring what the guitar can become in the 21st century. His work blends classical guitar with live electronics, progressive metal, improvised music, and post-rock, creating immersive sound worlds that move fluidly across genres. Recognized as one of CBC’s 2023 “30 Under 30 Classical Musicians,” Lacopo often performs with multi-instrument setups and real-time electronic processing, approaching the guitar as a modular and expandable instrument. His 2023 album Eastman (People Places Records) reimagines the music of Julius Eastman for guitar and electronics and was named a CBC “must-hear” recording. His upcoming album, Dreamscapes and Our Modern Contradictions (Watch That Ends the Night Records), will be his first full release of original music.
pinksnail
is a funeral with birthday cake. An ode to birth death as choral punk frenzy. Perfectly accessible Singsongs ruined by downtuned acoustic guitar, bombastic math metal drumming and a choir in 3 part harmony; spewing hooks about grief, sex-sads, fast-food and a gratefulness to be alive. Between the syncopated riff raff and dissonant harmonic moves, the closest comparison is either Converge subbing as Fionna Apple's backing band, or Meshuggah cosplaying as Bare Naked Ladies for their Halloween bands as bands. A hodgepodge of Pop Song form, Heavy Drum breaks, Creamy Choral chords and Mathed out riffs you might as well toss out yr calculator to fully enjoy; pinksnail is the Chorale Pop/Math Punk mashup no one asked for, but if you chug yr triple triple from timmies fast enough, you might actually appreciate the effort.
aniqa dear
is a Toronto-based experimental art pop project rooted in queerness, diasporic identity, grief, and the eternal interplay between belonging and isolation. aniqa dear weaves her intricate melodic sensibilities with ever-shifting synth-infused textures and polyrhythms, resulting in danceable music interlaced with stark vulnerability. She is currently crafting her second, intimate, genre-bending full-length album, to be released in early 2027. She asks intently if you have ever danced into your own abyss, and she invites you in.
Poetry-sound project
Cloud Circuit
draws inspiration from communication glitches and lost connections. Poet Deanna Radford channels her iterative text reams into deconstructed “words of mouth,” while sound artist Jeremy Young employs sine waves in flux, 1/4" magnetic tape, and captured radio airs. In performance, Cloud Circuit’s approach is collaborative and improvisational, with their sound being composed, dissected, and refracted. The duo has shared the stage with artists including Phew, Sam Prekop, Lea Bertucci, David Grubbs, Vito Ricci, Ora Clementi (crys cole & James Rushford), Jessica Pavone, skintone, Alex Zhang Hungtai, Paul Dutton, Ron Whitehead, Sarah Pagé, Greg Davis, Khaleefa "Apollo the Child" Hamdan, Alessandra Eramo, Jessica Ackerley, and others.
Cloud Circuit’s début LP will be released in June 2026 with Watch That Ends The Night Records.
Michael Cloud Duguay + Andrew Mackelvie
are a multidisciplinary creative duo and central animators of contemporary creative music in Canada, based in Peterborough ON and Halifax NS respectively. Throughout five years of intense and prolific collaboration, the two have contributed to dozens of internationally recognized creative performance and projects, including MacKelvie’s widely celebrated debut album with his spiritual jazz ensemble, Many Worlds, and Duguay’s critically-acclaimed electroacoustic chamber-drone ensemble, Scions. The two are co-creative directors of Watch That Ends The Night Records, an independent label platforming innovative music produced across Canada. Their performance at Suoni will, somehow, be their first time performing as a duo.

Rough Spells
is a four‑piece witch ’n roll band from Tkaronto, often described as Heart meets Black Sabbath. As settlers, immigrants, Jews and queers, the band supports meaningful acts of reconciliation and decolonization, and endorses the Calls for Justice from the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people.
Part of a queer, female‑fronted doom music movement, Rough Spells released their self‑produced EP Modern Kicks for the Solitary Witch, which debuted at #10 on the Doom Charts in 2018. Their releases include the Syster 7" and the full‑length album Ruins at Midday (Fuzzed and Buzzed / Dark Hedonistic Union).
Fueled by bluegrass and swing, the songs of
Margaret Tracteur
et les Faucheuses fauchées, a project by Gabrielle Noël Bégin, demonstrate a solid mastery of American folklore combined with great freedom. With keen observation skills, a healthy dose of humor, and surprising vocal techniques, the artist invites the audience on a personal and colorful journey between tradition and modernity that will delight troublemakers and yodel enthusiasts alike.
Presented as a female trio brought together for the cause, with Valéry St-Gelais (double bass) and Sandra Boulanger (violin), the group develops an organic, artisanal sound to convey lyrics that make you smile, bring people together, and set them free. The sun follows the trio on the roads of the countryside and cities, their contagious melodies, full of common sense and joyful rage, will follow you home. You have been warned!
Poolgirl
is a five‑piece alt‑rock band based in Montréal. Blending riot grrrl and punk influences with melodic indie rock, their sound has drawn comparisons to Bratmobile and Wednesday.
Since releasing their demo Is This It??? in January 2024, Poolgirl has been relentlessly active on the live circuit, performing across Canada at DIY basements, outdoor shows, festivals, and cultural events. Their latest single, Triple A (May 2025), highlights what they do best: fun, high‑energy rock that never takes itself too seriously. Poolgirl shows consistently bring together crowds ready to dance, mosh, sing/scream along.
Repurposing the anger, shock and alienation that stem from the ongoing disaster that is life in the 21st Century,
Bianca Supercell
aims to drown out the crap with their maximalist dreamy-noisy songs, in an attempt to get to the heart of the matter. Telling the stories as they see them unfold like some kind of overemotional reporter, they provide a musical response to the relentless affront on our basic humanity.

Yodel Workshop with Margaret Tracteur (Gabrielle N. Bégin)
A friendly introduction to yodeling with
Gabrielle N. Bégin
, the voice behind Margaret Tracteur.
Drawing from American folk traditions, Gabrielle learned to yodel by listening to and imitating artists like Jimmie Rodgers, Hank Williams, the DeZurich Sisters, and Jean Shepard, as well as local yodelers such as Manon Bédard and Guylaine Tanguay.
She shares her surprising vocal techniques through a playful, accessible approach. A workshop to explore your voice, play with vocal registers, and experience a living tradition, whether you're curious, a singer, or already a yodel enthusiast.

Intro & Short Film:
The Memory
(al-Zakira)
- Mohamad Malas (13 mins)
I see my family, I meet people. I meet them in my sleep, see them in my dreams. I know they are dead, I see them in my dreams, says the elderly woman. She lives on her own in the small town of Quneitra. She talks to her many cats and chicken, to the film team and to herself. She listens to the stories in the radio. She walks through the rubble.
In World War I she was in Beirut, in World War II as well, also during the wars of 1948 and 1956 she was out of town, stuck elsewhere. In 1967, when the Israeli army occupied the Golan Heights she was in her hometown, Quneitra, the governorates capital. And so was she in the war 1973. When the occupation forces withdrew they destroyed the city to make it inhabitable. Only few individuals returned. The woman says she used to write down things, not about herself, about many things that happened. All is gone, what is left is only the memory.
short film, Mohamad Malas, Syria 1975, 13 min, 35 mm (available in digital format only), Arabic
Director and Author Mohamad Malas | Photography Mohammad al-Qaj | Editor Tala'at al-Maghrebi | Production Mohammad Abu Abdallah
Mohamad Malas
was born in 1945 in Quneitra on the Golan Heights. He is a prominent Syrian filmmaker whose films garnered him international recognition. Malas is among the first auteur filmmakers in Syrian cinema.
Emna Mâaref
is a Tunisian Montreal-based multidisciplinary artist primarily known as an Oud player, live performer, electronic music producer, and DJ. Her practice spans a wide range of experimental music projects and sound design for visual and cinematic works, with her cinema projects selected at major festivals such as TIFF (Canada) and the Carthage Film Festival (Tunisia)
Never Temple
spans the Atlantic: Jaclyn Blumas, and Jessica Deutsch based in Toronto, known for their work with projects E-Prime, Doomsquad, Hush, Ghosttown Studio. Alexandra Duvekot in Amsterdam, a member of Blue Crime and art collective Meduse MagiQ. Within this ever-evolving collaboration, the interconnections of sound, performance, and ritual are constantly explored. Debuting with a series of performances at Amsterdam’s Dok Zaal, Never Temple was then approached to join New York’s 24hr Drone Festival at Basilica Hudson in 2019. This performance showcased their signature midnight ritual—a fusion of ethereal cello and violin, otherworldly vocals, and haunting synths, all adorned in attire suited to the characters present in the world they create. This live performance was featured and recorded at the festival then released via Manchester's Golden Ratio Frequencies label. Incorporating the energy of oceans and rivers, Never Temple seeks to transport listeners into deep sonic landscapes that resonate within the body. With multiple EPs on the horizon, Never Temple’s latest work, Automatic Pilot, released worldwide in May 2025 through Canadian label Halocline Trance and the UK’s DUPE, a subsidiary label of Bella Union. As the project grows, it continues to redefine the limits of experimental music,creating a truly immersive, multidimensional sonic experience.
Jessica Moss
is a violinist, composer, and solo performer based in Montréal. With over two decades of work in experimental music, she first came to prominence as a member of
Thee Silver Mt. Zion
and co-founder of
Black Ox Orkestar
. Since 2015, she has focused primarily on solo composition and performance, creating music shaped by live improvisation, deep listening, and a belief in the concert as a space for reflection and shared experience.
Fifteen Months and Countless
is composed of a rapidly advancing sequence of film photos taken from protests on 8th October 2023 to 16th January 2025 in Montreal and London. Music by Anarchist Mountains, featuring a drone sample of an organ played by Stefan Christoff with sound processing by Jordan Christoff.
The photos mark events from Operation Al-Aqsa Flood to the very broken ceasefire declaration fifteen months and countless lives, and demonstrations of support and direct actions later.
Prints of some of the photos in the film will be available in the art market taking place downstairs during the event, all proceeds to the evening’s fundraisers.
Gambletron
(Tiohtià:ke mtl) is a non-binary sound artist/ musician known for their improvisational noise and work with radio transmission- e.g. Radio "field trips," experimental karaoke, "multi-tonal AM Radio Theremin" and noise performances through large piles of radios. They explore the use of reconfigured radios and live transmission as a sculptural platform for the purpose of performance and environmental exploration. Gambletron's music and artworks almost always function as pirate radio, evocative of subtle methods of resistance to corporate and state control of communications technology.
Performing with an old mic strapped over their mouth and an array of tiny synths and self-built electronics-The music is loud and aggressive. The result is a hyper-kinetic wall of saturated electronic noise among heavy beats… kind of jungle-y these days.
Gambletron is a multi-instrumentalist and founding member of Orkestar Kriminal, with past projects on Constellation Records including Carla Bozulich's Evangelista, Hrsta, Clues, and Matana Roberts' Coin Coin. They also work extensively in sound design for film, dance, and theatre.
Moose Terrific
is an experimental electronics and synth duo composed of Montreal based Sam Shalabi and Tamara Filyavich. The pair focuses on classic synth sounds but with a lot of polyrythmic, symphonic, post-punk, North African and Ukrainian influences and other mayhem. They have released a debut album called 'The Drinks' on the Irish label, FortEvilFruit . Their second album ' Nude Beginning ' was released in 2024 on the Beirut label Ruptured. They are currently mixing material for a 4 and 5(!) release. Tamara Filyavich has been a sound art producer living in Montreal since 2002, in the last seven years, she began performing as an experimental electronic musician focusing one lectroacoustic, sound art and noise music, both as a solo artist and in collaborative projects. Her practice features work that is both composed and improvised and over the years I've come to draw inspiration from early synthesizer music, easter european folklore, Post Punk and more to name just a few influences.

An Laurence
安媛
is a Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang/Montreal-based musician and composer active in the contemporary/experimental music scene, and performance/multimedia artist.
Her eclectic debut album "Almost Touching" (2022), distributed by people | places | records, has been described as displaying "a graceful vulnerability that transforms [the] compositions into a powerful suite of emotive manifestations" (Foxy Digitalis), "a demanding listen ... never less than engaging" (The Whole Note), where An Laurence "displays her willingness to dive headfirst along each pathway she chooses to explore" (Musicworks magazine).
Her work has been presented by the Quartier des spectacles, Accès Asie, Théâtre La Chapelle, Groupe Le Vivier, the Music Gallery, Phenomena, No Hay Banda, Oh! my ears, Lucky Penny Opera/re:Naissance opera, Chinatown Biennial, Montreal’s maison de la culture, Athens Digital Arts, Tranås at the Fringe, Codes d'accès, among others.
Ianna Book
is a Montreal-based artist with an interdisciplinary background, whose work unfolds at the crossroads of visual arts, performance, and experimental music. Through a decidedly cross-disciplinary practice, she interrogates constructions of identity and processes of emancipation, offering a sensitive reflection on the ways in which one can reclaim one’s personal and collective narrative.
Camille Rosset-Balcer
is a sound artist and clarinettist based in Tiohtiá:ke/ Mooniyang/Montréal. Her practice questions the relation between the perceptible and the invisible, at the edge of imagination and sensitive experience. Inspired by nature, her compositions are influenced by myths, symbols and occult practices. Her work has been presented at numerous festivals and events such as POP Montréal, Nuit Blanche à l’ONF, Montréal Complètement Cirque, le ROSEQ, CAM en tournée and Mise-En Festival (USA).
Antoine Gaudin is a multidisciplinary artist based in Tiohtiá:ke/ Mooniyang/ Montreal. His work takes us on a spontaneous pictorial journey at the boundaries between the real and the unreal. Blending mystical icons, symbolic rituals, macabre solitude, and distorted photographic archives, his drawings and paintings sketch a dark and absurd world where a mind in search of meaning collides with belief systems, the devastating force of memory, and the incoherence of a world in delirium. Active on the cultural and community scene, his work has been presented in various venues such as Casa Obscura, Cheval Blanc, Espace Public, and Mai/son Montréal.
Anju Singh
is a composer, sound artist, and multiinstrumentalist who experiments with dynamics, texture, and pure sound in her composed and improvised work. As a musician, she is interested in extended and experimental techniques as well as re-application of traditional instruments in new contexts, sometimes leading to the development and build of new self-made instruments based on loose concepts of existing instruments. Her source materials include musical instruments, synthesizers, voice, electronics, custom-made/found objects, samples, and field recordings. Anju has presented her work across Canada and internationally including in the US, Brazil, Mexico, Europe, and Japan. In addition to her sound and music practice in areas of improv, experimental music and sound art, Anju also performs under the moniker The Nausea, and is also a metal drummer and guitarist in various projects. Anju is the Curator and Director of Vancouver Noise Fest, a self-funded and independently-run festival committed to noise music that has run for 11 editions.
Alejandro Motta
is a classically trained double bassist with a focus on contemporary music, sound experimentation, and stage performance. He is the co-founder of the free improvisation ensemble Algo Cruje and has collaborated with various national orchestras, including the OFUNAM (National Autonomous University of Mexico Philharmonic Orchestra). He recently participated in the performance of Memor I.A. as part of the UNAM Composition Workshop and is currently a member of the CEPROMUSIC Ensemble. His work ranges from traditional repertoire to more free-flowing creation, integrating sound and presence.

Blacks’ Myths
is a band founded by composer and bassist Luke Stewart with drummer Warren "Trae" Crudup, and has since developed into a sonic research and performance project concerned with the idea of History, of Memory, of the power of creating a tuned state of being. The journey through Sound lies the meditation on the history of blackness, the personal memory lens of an increasingly complex world full of alternate facts and rehashed stories. History thus becomes Mythology, in the ways in which we experience its weighty meanings in our lives. Through accessing the power of Sound, the story unfolds in physical frequencies that can re-tune the sub-conscious being otherwise known as the Spirit. The specific historical themes come from lived experience, stories told.
Toronto-based improviser
Karen Ng
has established herself as a unique musical force nationally and internationally, performing with some of Canada’s most prized artists such as The Weather Station, Andy Shauf, Do Make Say Think and many more. One of Canada’s leading improvisers “with a breathtakingly wide musical scope” (Musicworks) she also collaborates regularly with ad hoc ensembles in the wider improvising scene across Canada, in Europe and the US.

Nondual
.
Riffs, counterpoint, drones and improvisations twist and turn in the contemporary style. Songs, minimalism, collage and abstractions are all invited to the block party, and hang around in the park until the streetlights turn on.
Cole Schmidt
composes music for multi-genre improvising psychedelic chamber jazz ensemble SICK BOSS, drone improv unit LETTR OPENR, and the collaborative project with cellist and composer Peggy Lee, FOREVER STORIES OF: MOVING PARTIES.
As a guitarist, he performs regularly with Marin Patenaude, KneeJerk, and Peggy Lee’s Echo Painting. Cole has been curating DIY shows in Vancouver for over 15 years. He was part of the multidisciplinary outfit Sawdust Collector, and works as an Artistic Director for the Vancouver International Jazz Festival and Barking Sphinx Performing Society.
Alvaro Rojas
creates adventurous and colourful music that combines and recontextualizes the world around him. His diverse projects include Afro Peruvian prog - jazz (GRAN KASA), drippy electronic tinged guitar+string quartet soundscapes (MUSIC FOR 22), and an upcoming release on Susie Ibarra’s Habitat sounds label based on translating the patterns of nature.
His concert pieces have been performed by many of Canada’s finest new music groups, including the Turning Point Ensemble, Aventa Ensemble, Microcosmos String Quartet and others, and has collaborated with artists such as Susana Baca and Georgia Anne Muldrow.

Since 1999,
Quatuor Bozzini
has been a unique voice championing new, experimental, and classical music. A driving force in Montreal's vibrant creative scene and beyond, the quartet cultivates an approach that embraces risk, experimentation, and collaboration, venturing off the beaten path. Through its rigorous standards of quality, it has contributed to the creation of a diverse repertoire that transcends trends and fads. Over the years, it has commissioned numerous works and premiered nearly 500. Its open, collaborative, and artist-led approach has resulted in many innovative and highly acclaimed productions, including interdisciplinary projects incorporating video, theatre, and dance.
1st part
Hypnokaséta
Composition: Yannis Kyriakides
On stage: Quatuor Bozzini, Andy Moor & Yannis Kyriakides
Hypnokaséta is a continuous set of 16 pieces for string quartet and electronics based on dreams that I had during the first few months of lockdown, April-June 2020. Accounts of these dreams are encoded in the music that is played by the quartet and also encrypted in the sound textures that surround this. The pieces alternate between quartet as the foreground and electronic interludes, where solos or duos underpin the soundscape. The name ’cassettes’ refers to a theory of dreams proposed by Daniel Dennett, that says that dreams are loaded into consciousness like a cassette tape, just before waking.
2nd part
Rebetika
Arrangements and Improvisations: Andy Moor & Yannis Kyrakides
Rebetika
Andy Moor (guitar) and Yannis Kyriakides (computer) lovingly deconstruct and reassemble their favorite rebetika music in a set of nine pieces that encompass a wide scope of musical vision. This is an unusual and original take on the so-called "blues" music of the Greek diaspora of the early 20th century. Composer Yannis Kyriakides and guitarist Andy Moor offer their own avant-garde take on this music over the course of the piece. The starting point for these songs is a series of scratchy old bouzouki recordings, which are then sampled and manipulated while real-time guitar is overlaid. This meeting of old musical styles, decrepit recordings and very modern string experiments results in an often very emotive blend, effectively re-writing the past with a combination of reverence and adventurous Tetuzi Akiyama-like musicianship, sounding like an angular, Eastern European Charley Patton on the especially haunting 'Minores’.

Jairus Sharif
is a Black-Canadian multi-instrumentalist, composer and sound artist based in Calgary, AB, Treaty 7 land. His work combines spontaneous composition, sound collage, and free improvisation to create a liberation technology used for self-understanding, freedom of expression, and collective healing. Sharing a truthful message though the free exploration of music is important to Sharif, and blurring his own understanding of immediate reflection, ecstatic improvisation and tranquil focus is at the centre of his current creative work.
Operating the studio as an instrument, his recordings apply improvisation to assist in forging connections between ecstatic jazz, folk traditions, ambient, drone, dub, and noise. Primarily composing, performing, and recording all of the elements found in his music, Sharif has generated 3 full-length albums, numerous self-released projects, EPs and collaborations, and his 2022 album Water & Tools was long-listed for the Polaris Prize.
Involving extended techniques in instrumental improvisation, live-looping and sampling, combined with an evolving collection of electronics, traditional, and non-traditional instrumentation, his live performances offer a glimpse into an ongoing hermetic journey. Sharif has toured his solo and small group projects internationally, and his work has been presented at Canadian establishments such as Western Front, The Music Gallery, and Massey Hall.

Presented in collaboration with
Bozzini Quartet, Traquen'art, Tone Fest, and Coastal Jazz
The Ex
is a band resolutely focused on the future. After more than 45 years of existence and constant reinvention, they reject all nostalgia, preferring to explore new alliances and continually take on musical challenges far from any comfort zone. Emerging from the punk and squat movements of the late 1970s, The Ex has become an independent and unclassifiable force, performing in over 45 countries and paving the way for significant intercultural collaborations, notably with Ethiopian artists. Returning to the international stage with new compositions and a new album, If Your Mirror Breaks, the band continues to embody vibrant, collective, and inquisitive music—forward in every direction.
Zea
/ minimal, eclectic, strange-edge, poetic
Zea
is Arnold de Boer, born and raised in Friesland, based in Amsterdam. His music is at times intimate, heart felt, poetic, at other times highly energetic, urgent, obstinate and driven on syncopating trance-like guitar play. Arnold de Boer (Makkum, 1974) started Zea as a band in 1995. He plays guitar, trumpet, synths and beat machines and sings in English as well as in his mother tongue Fries (Frisian). In 2003 Zea became a duo and since 2009 Zea is De Boers solo project. He tours all over the planet where he meets a curious audience that might not literally understand but does comprehend the message, feeling and poetry of his -frisian- songs.
Zea
has played more than 2000 concerts in more than 40 different countries on six continents. De Boer releases his music on his own label called Makkum Records. He organises, books, plays, records, mixes, drives, sells, masters and listens completely independent from the main-stream music industry and will continue to do so since he believes the music business is like poison for the soul. Zea has been working with musicians from all over the world. De Boer joined Dutch underground band The Ex in 2009. His work with the Ghanaian kologo star King Ayisoba got world wide attention and they have toured around the world together since 2012.
Zea
is now touring with his latest album In lichem fol beloften (MR44) often accompanied by cello, drums and clarinet. A remix album of his catalogue has been released in 2024 on German Krachladen - Dub Records.
KY Band
makes freak-jazz noise punk about the brutalizing end-times of capitalism, disorganized bodies, lost loves and knowledge gained. Consisting of James Goddard (sax/electronics), Robyn Gray (guitar), Farley Miller (drums) and Ky Brooks (vocals/electronics), their music has been described as 'a genre-straddling outlier punk odyssey'.

Lucas ‘Granpa’ Abela
’s (fka Justice Yeldham) performances on their signature instrument; shards of amplified glass are the stuff of legend. Their singular practice spawned from the noise music underground, where over twenty years the glass evolved from a means to create ecstatic free-noise cacophonies into an outsider instrument that produces some kind of organic electronica. Abela vibrates the pane vocally to control a modular patch that uses no traditional syntheses techniques, instead the glass acts as both sound and modulation source. The patch extracting control voltages from the glass’s dynamics and frequency in order to modulate itself in synchronicity with the performance, shaping six parallel stereo effects chains that merge into dense layers of anomalous music.
Alejandro Motta
is a classically trained double bassist with a focus on contemporary music, sound experimentation, and stage performance. He is the co-founder of the free improvisation ensemble Algo Cruje and has collaborated with various national orchestras, including the OFUNAM (National Autonomous University of Mexico Philharmonic Orchestra).

Her most recent performances include a residency with the Norwegian collective Verdensteatret, the Epiciclos concert as part of the Diferencial series, and La escucha infinita.
Aleida holds a degree in classical violin from the Escuela Superior de Música (INBA). She began her musical studies in the basic program at the Ollin Yoliztli Cultural Center and continued her training at the ESM (Educational School of Music), where she completed her degree under the guidance of maestro Cuauhtémoc Rivera. She has participated in various festivals such as the National Violin Encounter at the University of Zacatecas, the Contemporary Expressions Festival, Aires Nacionales (FAM-UNAM), and the International Chamber Music Festival at the University of Querétaro. She has performed at venues such as the Blas Galindo Auditorium, the Palacio de Bellas Artes, the Teatro de la Ciudad, the CCU-BUAP (Center for Fine Arts), the Casa del Lago, the Ex-Teresa, and the Sala Silvestre Revueltas-CCOY. She has taken master classes with Jorge Rici, Renata Knific, David Colwell, the University of Kansas Trio, Erika Dobociewicz, Ron Francois, and Ryu Gotto, among others.
Aleida is active in Mexico City's experimental music scene, participating in various independent forums and festivals specializing in contemporary practices such as Material Art Fair, Index, Arte Book Fair, Museo Anahuacalli, Arte Alameda, Galería Kurimanzutto, El Nicho Experimental, and the Vernacular Institute.

Co-presented with Celluloid Lunch and Negative Capabilities.
A co‑founder of the cult noise‑rock group Harry Pussy, Orcutt has since built a widely acclaimed solo career. His work has been recognized by
WIRE
,
NPR
,
The Guardian
, and
Rolling Stone
. Maintaining an active international touring schedule and frequent collaborations with leading improvisers and experimental musicians, Bill Orcutt continues to push the expressive limits of the guitar with uncompromising intensity.
Wendy Eisenberg
is a key figure in contemporary independent music, renowned for the multiplicity and fluidity of her practice. A singer, improviser, and virtuoso guitarist, she navigates freely between art-rock, jazz, folk, and radical improvisation, constantly blurring the lines between forms.
Significant albums such as Auto (2020) and Viewfinder (2024) attest to an approach deeply committed to risk and experimentation. Rejecting any specialization, Wendy Eisenberg champions a simultaneous practice of punk, improvised, and composed music, making eclecticism not an aesthetic choice, but an artistic necessity.
Setting
is a North Carolina Piedmont–based trio featuring Jaime Fennelly, Nathan Bowles and Joe Westerlund, musicians known for their work with projects including Mind Over Mirrors, Califone, Black Twig Pickers, Pelt, Sylvan Esso and Jake Xerxes Fussell. Grounded in a deeply collaborative approach, the group creates inventive, richly textured improvisations shaped by shared intuition and flow.
Combining synthesizers, cassette loops, banjo, keyboards, zithers, electronics and percussion, Setting builds tactile sound worlds where earthy rhythms meet moments of celestial lift. Their self‑titled album on
Thrill Jockey
stands as a defining statement of improvisational fluency paired with compositional focus, harnessing the euphoria of communal creation.
Perhaps best known for his guitar playing in the Montreal noise-rock band AIDS Wolf, Alex Moskos has been producing records under the name
Drainolith
since 1999. He has released countless cassettes, CDRs & 7" records on various labels culminating in two full length albums: '
Fighting
' (2012) on Spectrum Spools and '
Hysteria
' (2015) on NNA Tapes.
More recently Moskos has performed and recorded alongside Max Eilbacher (Horse Lords) and Duncan Moore as SEF III, and with Nate Young, John Olson and Pulitzer Prize winning composer Raven Chacon as The Difficult Messages Band. He has also played alongside Neil Hagerty (Royal Trux), Charles Balas and Nate Young in Dan’l Boon (Drag City). Moskos is an amateur historian and works in community radio at CKUT 90.3FM - Montreal’s oldest freeform radio station. He lives in Hochelaga, an east end neighbourhood of Montreal with artist Jessica Mensch and Boots The Cat. 2026 Drainolith also features the amazing talents of drummer Destiny and guitar goddess Rián Adamian.
Negative Capabilities
will be launching their first zine—a new print venture dedicated to outsider guitar and left-field acoustic sounds. Copies will be available at the venue. An interview with Wendy Eisenberg in conversation with Alex Pelchat is in this premier issue.

Piazzo en V.O. : Les tangos authentiques du quintette d'Astor Piazzolla - Quinteto Nuevo

Time8:30 pm – 9:45 pm
Where3939, avenue du Parc-La Fontaine, Montréal, QC, CA, H2L0C7
@ Theatre de Verdure

La musique d’Astor Piazzolla est interprétée à travers le monde et par toutes les formations musicales imaginables. Cependant, rares sont les occasions d’entendre la musique du grand défenseur du tango nuevo interprétée par la formation pour laquelle elle a été largement composée : un quintette de tango où violon, piano, guitare électrique et contrebasse s’ajoutent à la sonorité emblématique du bandonéon, l’instrument à soufflet dont Piazzolla était le virtuose absolu. En effet, le grand musicien argentin a parcouru le monde avec son quintette, atterrissant à Montréal le 2 juillet 1984 pour un concert mythique au Festival International de Jazz. Rendant hommage à cet événement, ce concert propose d’entendre la musique d’Astor Piazzolla à Montréal, façon Piazzolla.

It’s been eight years since Montreal’s The Barr Brothers released a full-length album. In that time, life pulled them in new directions – personally and professionally – altering the way they make music together. Their fourth studio album, Let it Hiss, isn’t just a new collection of songs. It’s a document of transformation. The making of this record marked a pivotal shift: a pause for reflection, a reckoning with vulnerability, and a reconnection between the two brothers who’ve spent over three decades making music side by side.  
“In 2022, we found ourselves at a breaking point,” says Brad Barr, the band’s guitarist, vocalist, and primary songwriter. “It was clear something had to change. The real story of this record is the story of that change and everything that came after.”  
“Let it Hiss is what happened when we stopped pretending everything was fine and finally listened to what was actually going on”, says Andrew.

Join us at Suoni per il Popolo for a special artist talk bringing together visionary guitarists Bill Orcutt and the ever-shifting, genre-defying Wendy Eisenberg, in conversation with Montreal-based programmer, organizer, and musician Alex Pelchat.
Taking place on the 26th at 11 AM on the Casa terrace
, this intimate discussion offers a rare glimpse into their creative processes, influences, and evolving practices at the edges of experimental music. The session will be recorded by CKUT for later broadcast—come be part of it live.
Bill Orcutt
, one of experimental music’s most influential guitarists, crafts a singular sound that fuses American primitivism, outsider jazz, and fractured improvisation through stripped-down instruments, often missing two strings. Emerging from the explosive noise-rock band Harry Pussy, he helped redefine the genre before reemerging as a solo artist whose work bridges free improvisation and the deep roots of American song. Acclaimed by the
New York Times
,
WIRE
, NPR, and
Rolling Stone
, Orcutt continues to tour internationally, delivering raw, jagged performances that push the limits of the guitar with relentless intensity and inventive sonic language.
Wendy Eisenberg
has spent the past decade as a fixture of independent music and an artist of inspired multiplicity. As a singer-songwriter, improviser, and virtuoso guitarist, the coordinates of their artistry are ever-shifting, from art-rock to jazz to blistering free improv and eloquent folk. On catalog highlights including 2020’s 'Auto' and the 2024 free-jazz sprawler 'Viewfinder', they’ve made a signature of ambition.
As Eisenberg told fellow guitarist Nick Millevoi in an interview for Premier Guitar in 2021, “I need to be in a punk band at the same time as I need to be playing free improv at the same time as I need to be playing songs. All at the same time—otherwise none of the practices will work for me.” Their musical range isn’t a glib manifestation of eclecticism, but a genuine artistic essence.
Alex Pelchat
is a concert programmer, union organizer and part-time noisemaker from Montreal who is a part of the Mardi Spaghetti organization dedicated to improvised music.

Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked the World 
Catherine Bainbridge and Alfonso Maiorana, 2017, 102 minutes
RUMBLE: The Indians Who Rocked the World
tells the story of a profound, essential, and, until now, missing chapter in the history of American music: the Indigenous influence. Featuring music icons like Charley Patton, Mildred Bailey, Link Wray, Jimi Hendrix, Jesse Ed Davis, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Robbie Robertson, Randy Castillo, RUMBLE will show how these talented Native musicians helped shape the soundtracks of our lives. 
In English with French subtitles.
First part:
Oscar
Marie-Josée Saint-Pierre, 2016, 12
minutes
Mixing animated sequences and archival footage, Oscar is a touching portrait of virtuoso pianist Oscar Peterson at the twilight of an exceptional career, as he wistfully meditates on the price of fame and the impacts of the artist’s life on family life.
From the young prodigy’s beginnings in Little Burgundy to his triumphs on the international scene, this animated documentary by Marie-Josée Saint-Pierre explores the profound solitude of an artist constantly on tour. Set to the tunes of Peterson’s sometimes catchy, sometimes melancholy-tinged compositions, the film tells a heartfelt story about a life in jazz.

Other
In a world increasingly marked by individualism and isolation, 'Relational Tensions' questions our ways of being together, of forming communities, of coexisting. The four performances of this festival explore our contemporary ways of interacting and relating, as well as the complexities that emerge from them. Elyse St-Amour calls for intergenerational solidarity, addressing the complexities of aging for feminized people in a society that champions youth. Tricia Enns invites you to explore how technology both fractures and fosters togetherness, walking the thin (and often moving) line between technological mediation that helps and harms us. Camille-Zoé Valcourt-Synnott provides artists with a space to talk shop–taken for granted in many professions–and a reminder of the radical potential of gathering together. Belén Pedrocca and Amanda Préval weave us through the often invisible work of forming friendships, mutual care routines, and the complexities of social relationships. Here, performance is a tool for encounters. An embodied space where bodies, ideas, experiences, struggles, and different forms of presence engage in dialogue. Relational Tensions will continue on Saturday, June 27th with a finissage at 7:30pm.

FEMINAE NOX returns in partnership with

Montreal International Jazz Festival
to present the screening of Devotion & the Black Divine — a cinematic universe co-directed by French-Senegalese artist,
anaiis
. It is the expansion on the visual and sonic world from the 2025 album of the same name. 
Devotion & the Black Divine
is a cinematic meditation on new Black motherhood and the spiritual upheaval it carries. Blending soul, gospel, and chamber pop, the album was recorded live to tape, a deliberate act of surrender to imperfection and presence. Its themes move through unconditional love, self-acceptance, Black heritage, and the quiet power of nurturing. The accompanying art film — shot in Jamaica — extends these themes into moving image.

Maroon - On the Trail of
Creoles in North America

André
Gladu, 2005, 85 minutes
Louisiana's Creole culture helped shape the New World and contributed to the emergence of jazz. But what remains of this unique, mixed-race society, with roots in France, Africa, the Caribbean, Spain and America? Maroon searches for the origins of this little-understood and endangered culture and show how it is doing today. In this second part of his La piste Amérique series, documentary filmmaker André Gladu continues his exploration of the Francophone presence in North America. Maroon is a vibrant travelogue that goes back into history in order to shed light on the present.
In French with English subtitles.
First part:
Oscar
Marie-Josée Saint-Pierre, 2016, 12 minutes
Mixing animated sequences and archival footage, Oscar is a touching portrait of virtuoso pianist Oscar Peterson at the twilight of an exceptional career, as he wistfully meditates on the price of fame and the impacts of the artist’s life on family life.
From the young prodigy’s beginnings in Little Burgundy to his triumphs on the international scene, this animated documentary by Marie-Josée Saint-Pierre explores the profound solitude of an artist constantly on tour. Set to the tunes of Peterson’s sometimes catchy, sometimes melancholy-tinged compositions, the film tells a heartfelt story about a life in jazz.

Adeu x Olivier Rodrigue is a collaborative exhibition and immersive experience, marrying visual art and gastronomy. The exhibition features ten paintings by Montréal artist Olivier Rodrigue, including six works never before exhibited, alongside a site-specific installation created for the occasion. The culinary collective ADEU will present a series of bites inspired by the artworks, creating a conversation between image, material, and taste. Risk lies at the heart of Rodrigue's practice. His paintings are built within a fragile balance between intention and accident, embracing uncertainty as a creative force. Rather than seeking complete control, he allows each work to emerge through experimentation, resistance, and discovery. This exhibition brings together two disciplines united by a shared openness to process, intuition, and the unknown.

Will Scott III is an instrumental collective that explores the pedal steel from a fresh perspective, far removed from its traditional country roots. The project draws on soul grooves, organic energy, and cinematic atmospheres to create music that is both immersive and fluid.
Driven by hypnotic bass lines, grounded percussion, and soaring pedal steel melodies, the compositions emphasize collective interplay and feel. Each piece unfolds with a laid-back groove, blending retro and modern aesthetics. Will Scott III’s music invites both reflection and movement, creating a distinctive and enveloping sonic experience.

Behind Klaus’s face, weathered by the harshness of the road he’s traveled, the minds and hearts of François Lafontaine (Karkwa, Marie-Pierre Arthur, Galaxie) and Joe Grass (Patrick Watson, Elisapie, The Barr Brothers, Lhasa) recognized the magnitude of the jolts that brought him to the edge of the ravine. All that time, were they the monster? Or had they simply been feeding it every morning?

In every small gesture, every decision easier than the last, with the album II they manage to silence the surrounding noise—the reverb and needless echo of the day’s headlines—to deliver the splendor of a sugar rush and the swell of a wave.

FEMINAE NOX returns in partnership with

Montreal International Jazz Festival
to present the screening of Devotion & the Black Divine — a cinematic universe co-directed by French-Senegalese artist,
anaiis
. It is the expansion on the visual and sonic world from the 2025 album of the same name. 
Devotion & the Black Divine
is a cinematic meditation on new Black motherhood and the spiritual upheaval it carries. Blending soul, gospel, and chamber pop, the album was recorded live to tape, a deliberate act of surrender to imperfection and presence. Its themes move through unconditional love, self-acceptance, Black heritage, and the quiet power of nurturing. The accompanying art film — shot in Jamaica — extends these themes into moving image.
This event will kickoff anaiis + Grupo Cosmo performance
at the Montreal International Jazz Festival's Rogers Stage on June 26, 2026 @ 10:30 pm

Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr.
Leonard Cohen 

Donald
Brittain and Don Owen, 1965, 44 minutes
This informal black-and-white portrait of Leonard Cohen shows him at age 30 on a visit to his hometown of Montreal, where the poet, novelist and songwriter comes "to renew his neurotic affiliations." He reads his poetry to an enthusiastic crowd, strolls the streets of the city, relaxes in this three-dollar-a-night hotel room and even takes a bath.
In English with French subtitles.
First part:
Oscar
Marie-Josée Saint-Pierre, 2016, 12 minutes
Mixing animated sequences and archival footage, Oscar is a touching portrait of virtuoso pianist Oscar Peterson at the twilight of an exceptional career, as he wistfully meditates on the price of fame and the impacts of the artist’s life on family life.
From the young prodigy’s beginnings in Little Burgundy to his triumphs on the international scene, this animated documentary by Marie-Josée Saint-Pierre explores the profound solitude of an artist constantly on tour. Set to the tunes of Peterson’s sometimes catchy, sometimes melancholy-tinged compositions, the film tells a heartfelt story about a life in jazz.

Jamaican-Canadian singer-songwriter Sammy Jackson has quickly emerged as one of the most compelling young voices on Canada’s music scene, with two EPs, a full-length album, and a 2021 Juno Awards win for Vocal Jazz Album of the Year. She has performed on major stages including the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal and the Toronto Jazz Festival.
Her music blends jazz, R&B, and pop into a distinctive, personal style, shaped by both her vocal finesse and compositional voice. After her debut EP
Take Me Back
(2016), she gained wider recognition with
With You
(2020), a JUNO-winning project created in part with vocalist Jacqueline Teh and a collective of leading Canadian musicians.
Released in late 2024, her debut album
In The Meantime
reflects her current life as a mother, wife, and graduate student at the University of Toronto—an intimate, song-driven work where emotional honesty takes center stage.

Jamaican-Canadian singer-songwriter Sammy Jackson has quickly emerged as one of the most compelling young voices on Canada’s music scene, with two EPs, a full-length album, and a 2021 Juno Awards win for Vocal Jazz Album of the Year. She has performed on major stages including the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal and the Toronto Jazz Festival.
Her music blends jazz, R&B, and pop into a distinctive, personal style, shaped by both her vocal finesse and compositional voice. After her debut EP
Take Me Back
(2016), she gained wider recognition with
With You
(2020), a JUNO-winning project created in part with vocalist Jacqueline Teh and a collective of leading Canadian musicians.
Released in late 2024, her debut album
In The Meantime
reflects her current life as a mother, wife, and graduate student at the University of Toronto—an intimate, song-driven work where emotional honesty takes center stage.

Fondé en 1992, Ratchet Orchestra rassemble plusieurs des musicien·ne·s les plus actif·ve·s de la scène montréalaise de la musique improvisée. Ensemble phare et en constante évolution, le Ratchet développe une musique dense et collective où la puissance sonore n’est jamais dissociée d’une profonde fragilité humaine.

Porté par un large ensemble de voix, vents, cordes, guitares et percussions, le Ratchet Orchestra explore la tension entre écriture et improvisation, chaos et écoute, énergie brute et délicatesse. Chaque performance devient un espace de risque partagé, où le son se construit dans l’instant et dans le mouvement du groupe.

Line-up actuel:
Kim Zombik : voix
Lori Freedman : clarinettes
Jean Derome : flûtes et sax baritone
Yves Charuest : saxophone alto
Aaron Leaney: saxophone ténor
Andy King: trompette
Émilie Fortin : trompette
Kalun Leung : trombone
Julie Richard : sousaphone
Julie Houle : tuba
Hélios Paradis : violon
Adrianne Munden-Dixon : violon
Guido Del Fabbro: violon
Jean René : alto
Chris Burns : guitare
Ken Doolittle : percussion
Jahsun Promesse: batterie
Nicolas Caloia : contrebasse

Founded in 1992, Ratchet Orchestra brings together some of the most active musicians from Montreal’s improvised music scene. A large, ever‑shifting ensemble, the Ratchet creates dense collective music in which raw sonic power is inseparable from human vulnerability.

Drawing on voices, winds, strings, guitar and percussion, Ratchet Orchestra explores the dynamic tension between composition and improvisation, intensity and sensitivity. Each performance becomes a shared act of risk‑taking, where sound emerges through close listening, momentum and collective presence.

Bellbird est un quartet basé à Montréal réunissant Claire Devlin (saxophone ténor), Allison Burik (saxophone alto, clarinette basse), Eli Davidovici (contrebasse) et Mili Hong (batterie). Ancrée dans le jazz contemporain, la musique du groupe intègre des influences allant du contrepoint atonal aux grooves rock, en passant par des mélodies folk, le minimalisme et une énergie (post)punk assumée.

Issu·e·s de parcours et de scènes musicales variés à travers trois pays, les membres se sont rencontré·e·s dans l’underground montréalais. Leur premier album Root In Tandem (2023) a été salué par la critique, et après une tournée remarquée sur le circuit des festivals de jazz canadiens en 2024, Bellbird a signé chez Constellation Records. Leur second album, The Call, est paru en février 2026.

Bellbird is a Montreal‑based quartet featuring Claire Devlin (tenor saxophone), Allison Burik (alto saxophone, bass clarinet), Eli Davidovici (double bass), and Mili Hong (drums). Rooted in modern jazz, the group weaves in influences ranging from atonal counterpoint and rock grooves to folk melodies, Minimalism, and a driving (post)punk spirit.

Coming from different countries and musical scenes, the quartet coalesced within Montreal’s genre‑bending underground. Their 2023 debut Root In Tandem received strong critical praise, followed by an acclaimed run on Canada’s jazz festival circuit in 2024. Signed to Constellation Records in 2025, Bellbird released their second album, The Call, in February 2026.

A very special addition to the line up is coming soon!

Do you know gamer jazz? It’s a musical style created by and for Ping Pong Go, a duo with outsized ambitions, formed by two of the most prolific musicians on the Quebec scene, Vincent Gagnon and P.E. Beaudoin.
Spotted on stage with Hubert Lenoir, Lou-Adriane Cassidy, Ariane Roy, Keith Kouna, and countless other artists, they unveiled their playful, instrumental musical concept in 2022 with a first album on Popop Records, ultimately bringing nerds and athletes together under a single soundtrack worthy of both the Olympics and vintage video games.
A true UFO in the jazz world, both on stage and on record, Ping Pong Go is back with a second album boldly titled SMASH COMBAT. We wish them all the medals and trophies.
They just released their new album Smash Combat! The first single "Sam Bozen" paves the way to a new era of gamer jazz, the very unique music style o Ping Pong Go.

Originally from Rouyn-Noranda, Zach Zoya grew up at the crossroads of South African rhythms and North American soul and pop sounds, shaping a rich and eclectic musical identity.
The first English-speaking artist signed to the French-language label 7ième Ciel Records, he quickly gained attention with his EP Spectrum, critically acclaimed and nominated for several awards, including the ADISQ. His EP No Love Is Ever Wasted (2022) has accumulated millions of streams and includes the radio hits Start Over and Upper Hand.
In 2023, he received multiple awards, including at the Gala Dynastie and from the SOCAN Foundation. His sound has since evolved toward a blend of R&B, melodic rap, and alternative pop, notably on his EP It’s Always Sunny in Glendale (2024), inspired by his life experience in California.
He is now working on Misstape 2, a new collaboration with Montreal producer High Klassified, following their first project Misstape (2018), which marked the beginning of his career.

He brought together three great musicians/people whom he loved and admired for a long time!  Even though most of the members had never met each other, John was confident from knowing them himself, that this group would immediately be, as one of the members calls it, "tight" (which means "very cool" in case you were wondering). Their group sound is firmly planted outside any categories or labels!  They remotely recorded a literal "Proof of Concept" in March 2021 and finally met in person in January 2022 in Montreal, Canada where they recorded "Letters to George", which was released on vinyl/cd/digitally on Out Of Your Head Records in January 27, 2023.

Hansom Ēli is a Montreal-based duo formed in 2019 by siblings Camille and Alexy Guérer. Camille writes the lyrics and sings, while Alexy, a multi-instrumentalist and producer, composes the melodies.
Their music blends folk, R&B, funk, and indie pop, drawing comparisons to artists like Feist and Christine and the Queens. Bilingual in French and English—and occasionally incorporating Spanish—they create intuitively, often through improvisation.
Their name, inspired by the word “handsome,” reflects a desire to challenge gender norms. Embracing an eco-conscious lifestyle, their values are also reflected in their music, which is shaped by themes of travel and nature.

FEMINAE NOX returns in partnership with
Foil Gallery

Montreal International Jazz Festival
to present the screening of Devotion & the Black Divine — a cinematic universe co-directed by French-Senegalese artist,
anaiis
. It is the expansion on the visual and sonic world from the 2025 album of the same name. 
Devotion & the Black Divine
is a cinematic meditation on new Black motherhood and the spiritual upheaval it carries. Blending soul, gospel, and chamber pop, the album was recorded live to tape, a deliberate act of surrender to imperfection and presence. Its themes move through unconditional love, self-acceptance, Black heritage, and the quiet power of nurturing. The accompanying art film — shot in Jamaica — extends these themes into moving image.
This event will kickoff anaiis + Grupo Cosmo performance
at the Montreal International Jazz Festival's Rogers Stage on June 26, 2026 @ 10:30 pm
followed by anaiis' solo
Montreal headline show on September 23, 2026 @ Le Ministere

Whether it's their collaborative work on ‘’NightDrive’’ (winner of the 2020 GAMIQ for Jazz Album of the Year), their progressive album ‘’Colossus’’ (nominated for Jazz Album of the Year at the ADISQ) or their explosive ‘’The Liquor Store Big Band Vol. 1’’, their sound is constantly evolving - on stage and in the studio. The Liquor Store just released their fourth soul-pop-R&B album ‘’Right Place Wrong Time’’. The band embarks on a new, more polished and streamlined chapter, combining their love of deep grooves and exciting sounds with the refreshing visions of collaborating vocalists.

The Cat in the Bag

Gilles Groux, 1974,  74
minutes
Through the coming of age of a 23-year-old man, this film symbolizes the political coming of age of the people of Québec. In French with English subtitles. Soundtrack album, John's Coltrane's Blue World, available from Impulse! / Universal Music Enterprises.
In French with English subtitles.
First part:
Oscar
Marie-Josée Saint-Pierre, 2016, 12 minutes
Mixing animated sequences and archival footage, Oscar is a touching portrait of virtuoso pianist Oscar Peterson at the twilight of an exceptional career, as he wistfully meditates on the price of fame and the impacts of the artist’s life on family life.
From the young prodigy’s beginnings in Little Burgundy to his triumphs on the international scene, this animated documentary by Marie-Josée Saint-Pierre explores the profound solitude of an artist constantly on tour. Set to the tunes of Peterson’s sometimes catchy, sometimes melancholy-tinged compositions, the film tells a heartfelt story about a life in jazz.

Show Girls

Meilan Lam and Robert Paquin,
1998, 52 minutes
Show Girls
celebrates Montreal's swinging Black jazz scene from the 1920s to the 1960s, when the city was wide open. Three women who danced in the legendary Black clubs of the day - Rockhead's Paradise, The Terminal, Café St. Michel - share their unforgettable memories of life at the centre of one of the world's hottest jazz spots. From the Roaring Twenties, through the Second World War and on into the golden era of clubs in the fifties and sixities, Show Girls chronicles the lives of Bernice, Tina and Olga - mixing their memories with rarely seen footage of the era. Their stories are told against a backdrop of the fascinating social and political history that made Montreal a jazz and nightclub hotspot for decades. It is a story of song and dance, music and pride. 
English version only.
First part:
Oscar
Marie-Josée Saint-Pierre, 2016, 12 minutes
Mixing animated sequences and archival footage, Oscar is a touching portrait of virtuoso pianist Oscar Peterson at the twilight of an exceptional career, as he wistfully meditates on the price of fame and the impacts of the artist’s life on family life.
From the young prodigy’s beginnings in Little Burgundy to his triumphs on the international scene, this animated documentary by Marie-Josée Saint-Pierre explores the profound solitude of an artist constantly on tour. Set to the tunes of Peterson’s sometimes catchy, sometimes melancholy-tinged compositions, the film tells a heartfelt story about a life in jazz.

Pour célébrer son 25e anniversaire, l’Orchestre de la francophonie réunira sur scène une cinquantaine de jeunes musiciennes et musiciens sur scène.

Le programme regroupe les mélodies envoûtantes de Carmen de Bizet, de Kaléidoscope , œuvre emblématique du compositeur québécois Pierre Mercure, et de la monumentale Symphonie du Nouveau Monde de Dvořák.

L’Orchestre de la francophonie est une académie orchestrale qui rassemble chaque été une cinquantaine de jeunes musiciennes et musiciens venus des quatre coins du monde.

Librement inspiré de l’affaire Bettencourt, le film de Thierry Klifa narre le dernier quart de vie d’une héritière dont la fortune n’a d’égal que sa solitude abyssale.

Mariée à un homme qu’elle n’aime plus et mère d’une fille avec qui elle n’a aucune complicité, elle se liera d’amitié avec un photographe extravagant à qui elle ne cessera de donner de l’argent, jusqu’à éveiller les soupçons de sa famille sur un possible abus de confiance. Tout sonne juste dans ce film où Isabelle Huppert et Laurent Lafitte brillent par leur alchimie.

Soirée PowerPoint ~sur la mort~ ~deathy~ PowerPoint party. RSVP $15 PWC



Join TalkDeath and local death care workers for fast and fascinating deep dives into topics related to death, end-of-life, and grief

*VERSION FRANÇAISE SUIVRA*
Join TalkDeath and local death care workers for fast and fascinating deep dives into topics related to death, end-of-life, and grief.RSVP REQUIRED, Pay-what-you-can suggested donation $15Doors open at 6, talks begin at 7Presentations will be in English but French and English speakers are welcomeWe hope you can join us!Presentations will include topics such as:⁉️Funeral Myths & Cemetery Conspiracies presented by Betsy Manning-RoyFrom jerking bodies in dimly lit morgues to “bankruptcy-worthy” funeral expenses and the idea that grief follows a strict schedule, let me walk you through a fun and honest Q&A session about common misconceptions surrounding the funeral industry. Together, we’ll unpack the myths, strange stories, and realities of death care with openness, curiosity, and a little humour along the way.📺Your TV Guide to Grief: What Television Fails To Teach Us About Loss presented by Rebecca FeinglosFrom dead Disney moms to sports comeback stories and reality TV meltdowns, television has been teaching us what grief is supposed to look like for generations. The problem? Much of what we've learned is incomplete, oversimplified, or out of touch with what grief actually feels like. In this Deathy Powerpoint presentation, Rebecca Feinglos explores the good, the bad, and the toxic messages we've absorbed about loss, and why the future of TV and grief education might be unfolding on our iPhone screens right now.🥼A Final Gift - A Quick Guide to Whole Body Donation in Quebec presented by Dr. Emily PecsiMany have heard of donating their body to science, but what does that actually entail? Learn the ins and outs of how you can posthumously give the gift of knowledge and scientific discovery in Quebec.📷The Sound Of Good Coffee: Living and Documenting Humanitarian Work in a War Zone presented by Jonathan DurandIn spring 2022, Jonathan Durand found himself unexpectedly living and working in a war zone, confronting death in ways he had never experienced before. As he moved closer to the front lines, sleeping in bomb shelters and waking to missile impacts, that confrontation grew increasingly direct. After one particularly challenging day documenting humanitarian work in Kharkiv, he and a friend stopped for lattes, and to discuss the war raging nearby.🐚Plan D: An Exploration of Dignified Abortion at the Juncture of Deathcare presented by LJ BoyesIn many cultures, abortion is understood as a community experience — met without judgement and held by collective protection and support for the concentric circle of all involved. Abortion can be experienced in many ways: sometimes with a feeling of great completion, and other times — even when it feels like the right choice —shaped by forces including the loss of knowledge once held in community pre-colonization and over-medicalization. In this presentation, LJ aims to illuminate what abortion can look like with different scaffolding and patterns in the cultural field around this experience, and into tending to what author Miriam Rose Brooker calls the "liminal space" after abortion.🍄Psychedelic Assisted Therapy at End-of Life presented by Penny PattisonAn introduction to the benefits and possibilities of therapeutic psilocybin use for people with life limiting conditions.🌱Green Burial and Red Tape: Natural Burial in Quebec presented by Kelly Butler and Emma GriffinTo care for our beloved dead is a birthright, an ancestral inheritance passed from generation to generation. Since time immemorial, communities have cared for deceased loved ones following their spiritual and cultural beliefs. And in simple, loving ways, the dead have been returned to the earth. Unless you're a resident of Quebec.In Quebec, provincial regulations prevent families from caring for their dead, and make natural burial harder to access. Death doulas Kelly Butler and Emma Griffin will examine these barriers, compare them with what is permitted in other provinces and most states, and explain why, when it comes to funeral care, being an exception is not a good thing. And we'll discuss what you can do to reclaim this tradition!

À la croisée du free jazz, du drone, du post-rock et de la musique électronique, Tempête solaire crée une musique instrumentale saturée. La démarche du trio fait se rencontrer composition, improvisation libre et textures électroniques.

Eric Quach manie une basse à huit cordes à travers un arsenal électronique et des amplis grondants. Elyze Venne-Deshaies tisse des nappes au saxophone ténor transformé par l'électronique tandis que le batteur Eric Craven agit comme liant au cœur des dialogues élaborés par le groupe.

Si Tempête solaire explore des territoires sonores aux frontières du rock expérimental, son objectif demeure clair : créer des liens avec son public par le biais d'accroches captivantes, de grooves irrésistibles et de mélodies mémorables.

🎢 𝒅𝒂𝒍𝒕𝒐𝒏𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒔 (𝑷𝒐𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒅)

daltonists is a polish experimental trio [genre: leftfield jam], whose name refers to color blindness, a congenital visual impairment. This flaw in human nature has become the band's idée fixe, their main inspiration and motivation for creating music. The musicians combine the colors of contemporary jazz, afrobeat, dub, African and club music.

Despite their short existence (June 2021), daltonists have become a sensation on the local scene, playing at several prestigious festivals in Poland, including Jazz Jantar, True Tone Festival, and OFF Festival. At the Crossroads Showcase Festival in Ostrava, they won a special award for the best band selected by music industry professionals, which resulted in invitations to further festivals in 2026/2027 (Sunfest and Ottawa Jazz in Canada, Colours of Ostrava in the Czech Republic, Jazz Fest in Brussels, and others).
The band's debut mini-album, entitled “daltonists,” was released on May 9, 2024, and its YouTube version went viral, garnering a huge number of positive comments from around the world. Their songs are often played by leading DJs on radio stations in Poland and Europe (Soweto Kinch – BBC 3, Tom Ravenscroft – BBC 6/RinseFM, Marcin Harper – Czwórka, Gosia Jakubowska – Trójka).

Their second album, “gradient,” was released in November 2025 by the British label Folded Music.

In the spring of 2025, a partially sold-out concert tour took place in Poland and Europe to promote the first album, and another tour promoting the second album is planned for spring/summer 2026 in Europe and Canada.

Band members:
Roman Wroblewski – synthesizers
Piotr “orz” Orzechowski – bass guitar
Jacek Rezner – drums

The whole thing sounds a bit like Todd Terje playing Bad Bad Not Good :)

RIPPLEGANGER est un duo composé de Maya Kuroki (Teke::Teke) au chant, au mouvement et à l’électronique, et de Rainer Wiens au kalimba et à la guitare préparée. Ils ont développé une forte popularité à Montréal grâce aux performances fascinantes et à la présence vocale de Maya, qui s’entrelace gracieusement avec les fantaisies rythmiques de Rainer au kalimba et ses explorations texturales à la guitare préparée. Maya est originaire du Japon où elle a étudié le théâtre, et Wiens a une formation en jazz et en musique improvisée. Ce qui les unit, c’est une approche intrépide de l’improvisation et un son original.

Le Battle “Creative Boost” de 100Lux est un événement qui met en lumière la vitalité et le dynamisme de la scène professionnelle locale en danse de rue.

Pensé comme un espace de performance et d’échange, il rassemble des artistes issus de différents styles — breaking, hip-hop, popping, house, waacking, campbellocking et krump — dans un esprit de créativité, d’excellence et de dépassement.
Au-delà de la compétition, Creative Boost vise à aller à la rencontre du public en proposant des présentations accessibles et engageantes. L’événement permet de découvrir la richesse culturelle et artistique de la danse de rue, de mieux comprendre ses codes et de vivre l’intensité du freestyle dans un contexte rassembleur.
En valorisant les talents d’ici et en créant des liens entre la communauté artistique et les citoyens, cet événementcontribue au rayonnement de cette culture et à la transmission de ses multiples styles. Il s’impose comme un moment fort, inspirant et festif, où l’énergie du mouvement devient un véritable vecteur de rencontre et de dialogue.

A Dômesicle co-signed by Shift Radio that you won't forget anytime soon. A night dedicated to house, techno, and groove, featuring Bulgarian producer and DJ KiNK alongside our local icon Audrey Bélanger. A true phenomenon of live electronic music, KiNK has become one of the most in-demand performers on the current house scene purely through sheer talent. His secret: a minimal setup of synthesizers and controllers that he manipulates in real time. He crafts a hyperactive set that keeps the dancefloor fully locked in from start to finish. Opening the night, Audrey Bélanger delivers a groovy, precise, and instinctive set, laying the perfect foundations for an evening that steadily builds and never lets the energy drop. 360° visuals by Isotone and Fraud.

Come join us to hang out, debrief, and enjoy the summer under a dense shady canopy. This won't be an action or training event, but rather one for participants in this year's spring campaign to socialize, share stories, and conspire for next year. This season, we attempted grafts on 173 trees! The pavilion has an outdoor rain/sun shelter and is just off the big main trail. There are restrooms, water fountains, benches, and tables where we will be meeting. The location is about a 20 min walk from the Angrignon metro stop (green line). If driving, there is a very short trail leading to the location from Terr. Bourdeau and you can park on that street.

For over 10 years, Afrovibes has been introducing the general public to the powerful and sacred rhythms of Haitian Vodou in all their forms: Rara, Ibo, Nago, Agbadja, Djoumba, Dahomey… The group creates a world where mesmerizing drums, Haitian spiritual songs, Nigerian Afrobeat and Martinique’s bèlè coalesce naturally. Led by the percussionist Emmanuel Delly, their music transports the audience into an altered consciousness that radiates strength and sincerity. Enhanced by a versatile female vocalist and rich arrangements with soul, jazz, rock and Latin influences, the band cultivates a deep and timeless Vodou-Afrobeat sound.

Chibane skillfully navigates between North African traditions, Gypsy jazz and engaged poetry. A staunch supporter of the Hirak, he was one of the first to lend his voice to this movement fuelled by an artistic impulse that mobilized an entire people and gave visibility to their determination. Banned from performing in his home country, he chose exile over silence. Now based in Montreal, the singer-songwriter infuses his chaâbi sound with cosmopolitan rhythms beautifully accentuated by an intense and warm voice that carries both pain and hope.

“Never again will we listen to the balafon in the same way,” (Le Monde, 2025). Strikingly modern and spirited, Kanazoé Orkestra’s sound combines the balafon and drums of Mandinka and Sambla traditions with Nigerian Afrobeat and South African amapiano, along with a good dose of irresistible rap and electro groove. With electrifying energy, the ensemble—led by the charming and brilliant Seydou Diabaté, whose balafon technique is simply breathtaking—celebrates Africa and the universality of its rhythms, bringing ancient traditions to life at 200 bpm! With humanity and social awareness, Kanazoé Orkestra’s fourth album, Balabeatz (2025), speaks to the world by embracing the vibes of its time, without ever losing sight of its roots.

The rhythms are joyful but their lyrics are profound and serious. This first all-female carimbó group sings of life, resistance, and the memories of the peoples of Brazil’s Lower Tapajós region. As gentle as they are rebellious, the women share their deep connection to nature, pay tribute to women’s solidarity and strength, and advocate for the defence of ancestral lands and Indigenous rights. Emanating a magnetic aura, a determined spirit of rebellion, and a deeply rooted vitality, Suraras do Tapajós were unanimously selected for the WOMEX Showcase 2025.

Dance, music, contemporary circus arts, theatre and costumes are fully integrated, forming a single, cohesive aesthetic that fills the stage as a unified whole.

A multi-instrumentalist, he creates a world where soukous guitars, explosive synths and an arsenal of percussion instruments collide to form a socially conscious, perfectly catchy and danceable Congolese electro sound that bridges ancestral memory, the golden age of SAPE and a holographic vision of a future waiting to be reinvented.

Témoin lucide des enjeux actuels, Virginie Brunelle pose un regard incisif sur une planète en hypertension. Elle signe une chorégraphie impérieuse, vibrant combat pour l’amour et la solidarité.

Avec ses attaques et ses élans fulgurants, la danse exutoire de Virginie Brunelle percute de plein fouet et ausculte une humanité fracturée. Après Fables , où elle explorait le combat des femmes, elle aborde cette fois les thèmes du chaos et de la déshumanisation en créant un rempart scénique où l’union devient un contrepoids salvateur.
Sur scène, cinq interprètes incarnent une force collective où la dépense physique devient langage. Chaque souffle, chaque frémissement musculaire s’inscrit dans une trame humaine et sensible, révélant leur profonde complicité. Soutenue par une composition ingénieuse de Laurier Rajotte, Sans quoi nous crèverons résonne comme un cri libérateur contre l’aliénation et la lente érosion de notre condition humaine — une invitation à vivre pleinement.

“Kinshasa is bursting with stars, and Fulu Miziki Kolektiv is the wildest of them all,” (RFI, 2025). Fulu Miziki, literally “music from garbage” in Lingala, has made a splash by transporting the sounds of Kinshasa’s streets into an Afro-futuristic, techno-punk trance sound stamped with Congolese rumba and coupé-décalé that they call “twerkanda.” Once discarded objects are recycled into hand-made instruments, which the percussionists beat as if their life depended on it, releasing furious energy with urgency to take action to save the planet, amplified by their raw, powerful voices rising from the depths of their souls and through DIY cyber-costumes that reflect their commitment. Zero waste, 100% impact!
