C'est ainsi que LABproject devient une exploration de l'image et du son, ainsi qu'un travail de cr?ation collectif. Pour le premier concert cet automne, Moondata pr?sente une soir?e ?clectique d'?lectronique minimaliste, de big beat et de sons orchestraux. De l'?chantillonage de rythme ainsi que deux sets de batterie (l'un ?lectronique, l'autre acoustique) inspireront et m?neront les musiciens ? travers toutes sortes de sons, jazzy, techno et rock. Des violons, claviers, guitares et trompettes viendront intensifier et adoucir cette musique. -30- Pour des informations ou des entrevues, veuillez contacter: Matt Lederman LABproject Producer <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 514-272-4694 Moondata Productions - <http://www.moondataproductions.com/> www.moondataproductions.com O Patro Vys - <http://www.opatrovys.com/> www.opatrovys.com Envision Management - <http://www.envision247.com/> www.envision247.com NAW - <http://www.noisefactoryrecords.com/> www.noisefactoryrecords.com Cyan - <http://www.traktion.com/> www.traktion.com _____ MOONDATA PRODUCTIONS in association with O Patro Vys, Brasserie McAuslan & Envision Management presents: LABprojects 0904 a monthly series of live collaborative improv between musicians, dj's & vj's Saturday 18 September 2004 9:30 pm O Patro Vys 356 Mont-Royal Est Matt Lederman - guitar, effects NAW - laptop electronics Kevin Laing - drums Marika Shaw - viola Monica Guenter - violon Chris Leroux - electronic drums Peter X - bass Ryhna Thompson - trumpet, keyboards, effects Johnny Ranger - visuals Cyan - DJ Moondata Productions' LABprojects is a monthly series based around the talents of Montreal musicians, DJ's and VJ's. Using shared ideas and musical sketches, the improvisations often fall between abstract ambience to in-your-face grooves, from heavy rock to jazz & musique actuelle, from tripped out electronics to modern classical. Each show is enhanced with projected visuals that are mixed live to the music, with DJ sets interspersed between the live musician sets. Molded in the style of a live workshop, the LABproject (Live Ambience & Beats) becomes a full exploration of sight, sound, & collaborative creative possibilities. For the first session of the new fall season, Moondata offers up an eclectic night of minimal electronics, big beat and orchestral sounds. A full powered rhythm section of laptop samples and two drumkits - one electronic and the other acoustic, will be leading the ensemble through all sorts of grooves - from jazz house, techno & avant rock. Violins, violas, horns, keys and guitars will add tension and sweetness to the night's diverse sounds. Featured performers: Matt Lederman - guitar, effects As one of the founder of the series, 'moondata' Matt orchestrates much of the goings-on at LABprojects.
