So I’m playing tonight at the Elektra festival in Montreal. The show is at the Usine C theatre at 10pm if you happen to want to come down for it.
It’s the second Openland live show with a dual screen video show along with my improvised audio twiddlings. I’m really excited about playing here as the venue is fantastic with a very good sound system. Fingers crossed, the show should sound as good as it can be.
I arrived in Montreal yesterday evening and managed to get out to the opening shows of the festival. Feeling really tired and rather disorientated, I got to see the performance of ‘Feed’ by Kurt Hentschlager. It’s an amazing experience of quite extreme audio and visual where the theatre is filled with dry ice (supplied by 20 smoke machines!) and then lit up by strobing, pulsing light. The soundtrack was mostly drone based, with some rhythmic material and plenty of sub bass and it fitted perfectly with the visuals.
If you ever see ‘Feed’ coming to your town then don’t pass up a chance to see it. Well, unless you have issues with strobe lights.
