This time around PHONIQ is happy to present BETA-LAB a monthly showcase of electronic music collaberation and experimentation. BETA-LAB will focus on teaming up resident PHONIQ artists with other members of the canadian electronic music community. BETA-LAB is a space for experimentation to try out new ideas, for artists to try out new ideas, projects, collaberations. a testing ground for laptop artists, hardware musicians, djs and video artists a like. every month a different project or projects will be presented. each of these events are designed to act as an exploration into the different intersections between technology and music/art making. BETA-LAB is not designed to feature one artist in particular but to act more as an equal testing ground for all, for both the performer and the audience member. the BETA-LAB series is about an ever changing creative process, each months event details will be announced at www.phoniq.net 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 6 short months, phoniq has grown from an idea of "how can we create a viable promotional vehicle for canadian electronic artists", into a music series, a net-label, an active community mailing-list and a canadian electronic music resource. HEART & SOUL Humanity receives hundreds of cosmic signals on a daily basis. Of these, certainly the most complex come from a place simply known as Planet Nebula.Chief among the Nebular codebreakers here on Earth is the team of Heart & Soul. Their working methods combine the pioneering inter-planetary research of the eminent Dr. Blowfin, the study of subterranean, or underground, wave-form activity, a careful monitering of circle makers, as well as their previously established Solar Mist Approach. The H&S team are working towards a comprehensive decryption program for the Nebular codes and a better understanding of what they can mean for us. BOPP www.bopp.ca Montreal based Laptop DJ Bopp currently plays the "Deep Fried Daze" netradio show on netmusique.com every friday at 4 pm. NAW www.noisefactoryrecords.com montreal native neil wiernik began his explorations in electronic music making as early as 1988. known to push the boundaries of his musical form, naws music is a blend of sound manipulation/design, experimental music and dub-tech rhythms, which on the surface sound quite simple, but incorporate a number of touches that steer this artist away from being simply another minimal techno or experimental laptop artist. he combines post-house, dubby minimal techno, microsound and thick ambience, to create his own version of deep techno, house and other electronic laptop oriented musics. neil has released music on various national and international record labels, including recent releases on clever-music, and his follow up full length to his 2002 noise factory release called green nights orange days. he has recently returned from tours in france, germany, and canada.to co-enside with his recent releases on these labels and plans to return to europe this summer for more tours including a performance at the now legendary sonar festival in barcelona, spain. ANTON www.antontrax.com recently relocated to montreal from the west coast, anton has been refining his sound since 1999. in an era where most are abandoning their hardware to go the software route, anton has taken advantage of cheap pawn-shop synths and samplers, made obsolete by economic cycle, but still rich with potential. his signature sound features emotive melodies, lush minor chords, and distant textures. as somewhat of a reaction to the clean computer-based sound prevalent today, antons music tends to be rough, gritty, and deeply compressed. the influence of the environment of the west coast of canada has certainly left its mark.
