*EVENT INFORMATION - PHONIQ#4
Black Market [g25/Bumpy] Ensemble Camp [No Type] Argon Floozy [Panospria] +DJ Khanfucius Vendredi, 29 Octobre La Salle D'Attente / Esperanza 5490 boul St-Laurent 21h - 5$ http://www.phoniq.net/ *PRESS RELEASE The Phoniq collective brings you the fourth in our ongoing series of live electronic music events. Each of these events are designed to act as an exploration into the different intersections between technology and music/art making. This particular evening will showcase experimental music by some notable local artists in various genres. Phoniq is proud to present the premiere of Argon Floozy, the latest group project of the Panospria collective who will be starting the show off with their dark ambient dub quartet. No Type label heads David Turgeon & Aimé Dontigny will then be mixing up fractured beats and warped textures as Ensemble Camp, their ongoing project for prepared CDs. Topping the night off and pushing the tempo way up will be the hyperactive drill n' bass stylings of the notorious Black Market. *BIOS/INFO PHONIQ [www.phoniq.net] Phoniq is a collective of individuals dedicated to promoting bleeding edge electronic music/art in interesting variable environments, with an emphasis on exposing aural and visual talent that has not yet been exposed to the electronic arts communities of Montreal and Canada. We aim to showcase upstart music producers, DJs, and emerging visual artists all working in electronic realms. Our foremost goal is to showcase off the wall and raw genres of music and visual electronic arts- not just those that are currently "en vogue" or will be shortly. The concept for Phoniq came together through the chance meeting of 2 active members of the Montreal/Canadian electronic music and digital arts community: CKUT-FM DJ/host Cyan and dub glitch techno producer NAW. Phoniq has grown out of the combined histories of these 2 individuals. NAW brings the Clonk legacy that he created 6 years ago in Toronto, which hosted such artists as: Monolake, Kit Clayton and Sutekh. Cyan brings her ongoing involvement in community radio, event coordinating and DJ talents. Since then the collective has grown to include 5 core members responsible for keeping things running. After a short 6 months phoniq has grown from an idea of "how can we create a viable promotional vehicle for Canadian electronic artists", into a music series, an active community mailing list/community forum, and in the coming months Phoniq will relaunch its site designed to act as a portal resource for the Canadian electronic music community which will include a net-label. BLACK MARKET [g25 Productions / Bumpy Records] Black Market adamantly denies these allegations, dismissing them as rumours and hearsay. This form of character-assassination should not be tolerated in the experimental drum n' bass community. For the record he is releasing two different albums later this year on two different small American labels, and he has never even *met* the President's daughters. ENSEMBLE CAMP [No Type Records] Ensemble Camp is a variable-sized ensemble performing works written or arranged specifically for the CD player medium. In the past, Ensemble Camp has performed in Saskatoon, in France & of course on various occasions in Montreal. Its core members are David Turgeon & Aimé Dontigny but on occasion the group has included Jon Vaughn, Érick D'Orion, Christophe Havard. ARGON FLOOZY [Panospria Records] On this evening, members of the Panospria collective will unveil Argon Floozy, their latest group project since Kokoro No Jojishi in 2003. For this performance the band will feature Shane Turner, John Brennan, Anthony Wilson and Tomas Matthews, who will construct and manipulate a sonic whirlpool of deep, moody music.
