Join us at Librairie Drawn & Quarterly for the launch of 9 Times MyWork Has Been Ripped Off by Raymond Biesinger, on Friday September 19th.

9 TIMES MY WORK HAS BEEN RIPPED OFF: A veteran illustrator imparts practical advice for the working creative with candid humor

New York Times and New Yorker illustrator Raymond Biesenger has over twenty years of experience asa self-employed creative. You might say hes been through it all:from chasing down a concert promoter for payment on a fifty-dollar Megadeth poster design, to a regular stint at Monocle, to confronting a government agency for stylistic theft. Biesingers ingenuity for solving the most unexpected issues extends far beyond his primarytask of filling the page.

Sure, everything an aspiring creative needs to know might be at their fingertips. But the question of what to do when their work has been exploited remains. In 9 Times My Work Has Been Ripped Off, Biesenger undertakes the challenge of answeringthat ever-present question by revisiting some of the most unforgettableand at timesirrationallyabsurd moments in his career witha wink and an encouraging nudge. 9 Times proves time and time again that creative problems will more often than not require creativesolutions.

This portable, and elegantly illustrated guide to navigating and maneuvering the least glamorous aspects of the creative industry is a future classic suitable for everybody from the earnest novice to the seasoned professional.

Phnomena est fier de prsenterune rencontre indite et touchante entre deux voix vibrantes issues des Premires Nations: SandrineMasse et Shauit.

Sandrine Masse (Wendat et qubcoise) nous entrane avec L o la terre est dans un univers o le folk et le rock alternatif se mlent aux rythmes traditionnels. Ses chansons en franais et en wendat tissent desrcits intimes qui clbrent le territoire et la mmoire.

Laurat de nombreux prix, Shauit (Innude la Cte-Nord) fait rsonner la langue innue avec Natukun (remde), un spectacle lumineux qui fusionne folk, roots, reggae et traditions qubcoises dans un esprit de gurison et de rconciliation.

Une soire o les langues et les musiques se rencontrent pour crer une mosaque sonore puissante et intimiste.

PART I: Amanda Gutirrez & Nik Forrest

Amanda Gutirrez et Nik Forrest prsentent une performance collaborative faonne par la radio FM, les signaux VLF et les frquences radio terrestres comme matire sonore principale, tisse travers la synthse semi-modulaire. Estompant les frontires habituellesentre transmission et rception,soi et autrui, ici et l, le perceptible et l'imperceptible, les artistes proposent des formes fluides et non binaires d'coute, de son et de devenir. En amplifiant cequi est gnralement inaudibleces courants fantomatiques qui chappent notre conscienceiels demandent : qu'est-ce qui chappe encore notre attention, et qui d'autre reste inaudible ?

Amanda Gutirrez and Nik Forrest present a collaborative performance shaped by FM radio, VLF signals, andterrestrial radio frequencies as their primary sonic material, woven together through semi-modular synthesis. Blurring the usual boundaries between transmission and reception, self and other, here and there, the perceptible and the imperceptible, the artists propose fluid, non-binary forms of listening, sounding, and becoming. By amplifying what is typically unheardthose ghostly currents that slip beneath our awarenessthey ask: what else escapes our attention, and who else remains unheard?


PART II: Nina Garcia & Leila Bordreuil

La guitariste franaise Nina Garcia et la violoncelliste new-yorkaise Leila Bordreuil sunissent enduo bruitiste et hyper-amplifi ou leurs amplificateurs assument un lien privilgi comme partenaire de jeu. La pratique de Garcia, inspire par le punk rock, Sonic Youth et un dsir constant de repousser les limites, consiste manipuler les cordes de sa guitare d'innombrables faons cratives. Bordreuil, anime par un intrt froce pour le son pur et le timbre inhrent, dfie la pratiqueconventionnelle du violoncelle avec des techniques tendues extrmes et des mthodes damplification inhabituelles. Ensemble, elles taillent le son et fouillent le chaos pour faire merger une musique inoue comprenant des silences forcs, des larsens avorts etdes boucles manufacturs.

Guitarist Nina Garcia and cellist LeilaBordreuil join forces in a noisy and highly-amplified duo where power and fragility intersect with palpable tension. Garcias approachinspired by punk rock, Sonic Youth and a constant desire to pushboundariesconsists of mistreating the strings of her guitar in countless creative ways. Bordreuil,driven by a fierce interest in pure sound and inherent texture, challenges conventional cello practice through extreme techniques and unorthodox amplification methods. Together, they excavate sound and delve into chaos to create unprecedented musical experiences involving forced silences, aborted feedback and manufactured loops.
