Ah, the splendours of spring! And no other event uncaps the freshness quite like May’s MUTEK. Sound seekers from Montréal and everywhere else have been hotly anticipating the MUTEK Festival, a forum for emerging sounds in electronic music and and digital creativity. Now in its 9th edition, the festival continues to showcase an inspiring line-up of creations, combinations, fusions, permutations and mutations in sound, music and audio-visual art. In essence, a smorgasbord for the senses.
True to form, the Festival continues to treat festivalgoers to programming that’s diverse, dynamic and exploratory. From throbbing to ephemeral and soothing to brooding, the multilayered performances are sculpted with infinite care by many of the scene’s hottest artists.
Its three-part program runs from May 28 to June 1 with two indoor programs, NOCTURNE and A/VISIONS, and an outdoor weekend party – the MUTEK//PIKNIC – at Parc Jean-Drapeau. In the event of rain, they’ll move the scene over to the SAT (Society for Arts and Technology) on Saturday, June 1.
