Montreal Cultural Calendar

I'll be hosting a year end zine-making session again this year! I have a template people are welcome to use, but there are many templates and it can be really nice to design your own. Generally it involves:
 
1) looking through your calendar and photos and writing down what happened this year, week by week (or month by month if you want to do it faster)
2) Answering some questions (writing or drawing or point form or whatever) about the year. Like: who did I spend time with? Who showed up for me? Who did I show up for? What felt good? What was hard? What's a song that meant something to me? Etc.
3) Thinking a bit about the coming year and answering questions about that too in your zine

It's more paralell play than guided workshop.

Optiional:
- Feel free to bring pens or markers or art supplies
- Feel free to wear something comfortable
- Feel free to bring snacks to share, ideally vegan so I can try it too! Snack ideas: fruit. berries, veg, nuts, hummus, muhmmara, pita, samosas, most baguettes, many crackers, most very dark chocolate, oreos, sweet chili heat, spicy dill, katjas, so much more

2nd annual montreal edition!

i’m inviting you to a community reading of In C, the iconic early work of Terry Riley. open to all players of pitched instruments (voices too — why not), In C is a series of short melodic fragments played to a common pulse, but with a flexible number of repeats. it’s a wonderful exploration of how small, simple contributions from a number of equal participants can create a beautiful, complex experience. perhaps it’s a nice way to start the new year.

observers are welcome of course, but this is not really a performance: simply people playing together for the joy of it. you can find the music and instructions here:

https://mega.nz/file/Dx8AFBJR#XTksAM_hadCULr_Y-ET9swH-BUCEcWdNtrArRjjhdSw

and, if you'd like to hear the phrases as well, a quick an dirty recording of each part is here:

https://mega.nz/file/moMAEIQA#agQ1TL85yJY2kREI1KW_4HfSNYe8bDlgYo9ofOQ9QX0

we’ll meet at 14h, i’ll give brief instructions for anyone new to the piece, we’ll tune and off we go.

looking forward to seeing you and bringing in the new year with some merry modal minimalism. looking forward to starting the year with you!


_____________________________________________

2e édition annuelle de Montréal!

Error 403 ! [veuillez nous contacter par message privé pour obtenir des indications si besoin.]

--> apportez un pupitre si possible, ainsi que des en-cas à partager. les dons sont les bienvenus pour soutenir ce formidable lieu communautaire.

je vous invite à une lecture communautaire de l'œuvre emblématique de Terry Riley «In C» (1964). ouvert à tous les joueurs d'instruments mélodiques et à la voix, «In C» est une œuvre formée d'une série de courts fragments mélodiques à répétitions variables. «In C» est une merveilleuse exploration de la façon dont de petites et simples contributions d'un nombre de participants égal peuvent créer une expérience belle et complexe. cette lecture communautaire sera un magnifique début au nouvel an.

les observateurs sont bienvenus, bien sûr, mais ce n'est pas vraiment une performance: simplement des gens qui jouent ensemble pour le plaisir. vous pouvez trouver la musique et les instructions ici :

https://mega.nz/file/Dx8AFBJR#XTksAM_hadCULr_Y-ET9swH-BUCEcWdNtrArRjjhdSw

si vous souhaitez également entendre les phrases, voici un enregistrement rapide et approximatif de chaque partie :

https://mega.nz/file/moMAEIQA#agQ1TL85yJY2kREI1KW_4HfSNYe8bDlgYo9ofOQ9QX0

nous nous rencontrons à 14h, je donnerai de brèves instructions à toute personne novice dans la pièce, nous accorderons et on commence.
