TILT OCT.2006
TILT 01 A tribute to Sonde Concerts : Alexis Bellavance, Jean-Pierre Aubé, David Lafrance Sunday, October 22, 5h pm Entrance : 8 $ (TILT 01 + TILT 02 : 12$) La Sala Rossa, 4848 boulevard Saint-Laurent
And Sonde LIVE after 20 years of silence
Live performances by Sonde, a group composed of Andrew Culver, Keith Daniel, Pierre Dostie, Chris Howard, Charles de Mestral and Robin Minard, had a great impact on the Montreal music scene of the late 70s and the mid 80s. One of the very few musical intervention groups in Quebec whose practice blended visual arts, installation and performance, Sonde, with their productions, prefigured the bruitist and kinetic studies of current artists such as our guests: contemporary and sound artist Jean-Pierre Aubé, turntablist and painter David Lafrance and performer and sound researcher Alexis Bellavance. To start the program, Charles de Mestral, founding member of the group, composer, sound sculptor, electronic system designer and performer, will introduce the interdisciplinary work of Sonde and will play us selected tracks.
TILT 02 Tributes to Dionne Brégent, Bernard Bonnier Concerts : Simon Guibord, Minibloc, John Sellekaers Sunday, October 22, 9h pm Entrance : 8 $ (TILT 01 + TILT 02 : 12$) La Sala Rossa, 4848 boulevard Saint-Laurent
These tributes concern two atypical records produced in Quebec during the late 70s...Et le troisième jour (1976, Disques Capitol) belongs more to a European tradition of atmospheric music, even rhythmic music, than to the Quebec production of that era. As for Casse-Tête (1984, Amaryllis © Bernard Bonnier, 1979), it is the peculiar work of a gifted electroacoustic composer, Bernard Bonnier, who amused himself realizing tracks which oscillated between electroacoustic sounds and pop music, with humor and self-derision as an added bonus. To start the program, the founder of the empreintes DIGItales label, Jean-François Denis, will unveil a new audio DVD by Bernard Bonnier which collects exclusive works. He will present us the artists to whom this program is dedicated and will make us appreciate works taken from the two records which have the place of honour here.

TILT is a sound broadcast event which presents twelve works that are essentially musical, created by composers and artists from Quebec. For each event, the thematic and historic focus is a prominent figure in sound creation (electroacoustic and experimental music, sound art) in Quebec who is nowadays unrecognized or has been forgotten. The 12 invited contemporary artists were chosen for the quality of their performances and not for some similarity with their predecessors. ANY RESEMBLANCE WOULD THEN BE PURELY ACCIDENTAL... Each evening is comprised of two distinct programs, one at 5h pm and the other at 9h pm. The entrance fee for each program is $8 (at the door only) or $12 for two programs attended on the same night. TILT events are projects that demand attentive listening. Please note that the programs begin on time and that absolute silence is mandatory. Thank you for your understanding.
TILT NOV. 2006
TILT 03 A tribute to Micheline Coulombe Saint-Marcoux Concerts : Steve Bates, Diane Labrosse, Nelly-Ève Rajotte Sunday, November 12, 5h pm Entrance : 8 $ (TILT 03 + TILT 04 : 12$) Société des arts technologiques (SAT), 1195 boulevard Saint-Laurent
Having worked with many contemporary composers, both European and US, Micheline Coulombe Saint-Marcoux (1938-1985) produced important works which reveal the openness of the composer to each of the disciplines she contributed to (voice, percussion, sound ecology). Her commitment towards the recognition of electroacoustic music in Quebec drove the creation of specialized organizations and the inclusion of this type of music in the curriculum of educational institutions. This program is presented by Jean-François Denis, producer of the empreintes DIGItales label, who will introduce us to the works of composer Micheline Coulombe Saint-Marcoux. Some tracks taken from the Impulsion CD, on empreintes DIGItales (catalog number: IMED0159, 2001) will be played.
TILT 04 A tribute to Hugh Le Caine Concerts : Freida Abtan, Jean-François Laporte, Martin Tétreault Sunday, November 12, 9h pm Entrance : 8 $ (TILT 03 + TILT 04 : 12$) Société des arts technologiques (SAT), 1195 boulevard Saint-Laurent
Special guest directly from Faroe Islands (DK)G o o d i e p a l
A renowned scientist, physicist and specialist in radars and other detection objects, Ontario engineer Hugh Le Caine (1914-1977) had a passion for sounds. An exploratory dimension characterizes both the instruments he designed during his spare time and his too-rare recordings. The four guests of this evening have the same imagination and originality. The evening is presented by Gayle Young, artist, biographer of Hugh Le Caine and author of The Sackbut Blues: Hugh Le Caine, Pioneer in Electronic Music (published by the National Museum of Science and Technology in Ottawa, ISBN 0-660-12006-2). She is the director of the Toronto magazine Musicworks.
