MARTIN MESSIER

« UNE GLORIFICATION DE LA MACHINE »

— Pieuvre.ca (CA)

Following up on his successful performances (Projet pupitre, L’horloger, La chambre des machines), Martin Messier takes the dialogue between antiquated object and electronic music further, and presents an orchestra… of computer-controlled sewing machines !

 

FÉLIX-ANTOINE MORIN

RÉCIPIENDAIRE D'UN PRIX JTTP 2008 (CA)

Félix-Antoine Morin continues to praise the machine, drawing his inspiration from Industrial music as much as musique concrète. Morin will play his piece Plateforme, for boat/train siren organ, tape and live electronics sharing the stage with Marie-Chantal Leclerc.
