Showcasing three of Canada^Òs top laptop artists, U/CTRL presents cutting-edge electronic music ranging from ambient/glitch to IDM to deep, dubby techno, accompanied by original video works. U/CTRL performers Andrew Duke, NAW and Akumu are each accomplished independent electronic artists with multiple releases and remixes on labels around the world. Live, they produce customized sound environments for deep listening that incorporate a variety of techniques, and improvisations. For U/CTRL, they will perform live solo sets highlighting fresh material from new and upcoming releases. U/CTRL takes electronic music out of the clubs and studios and into bars, cafes and gallery spaces across Ontario and Quebec, bringing new sounds to new listeners. 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. About the performers: ANDREW DUKE [ www.cognitionaudioworks.com ] Producer, DJ and remixer (Chicks on Speed, Pink Floyd) whose international releases have been praised in the Wire and Exclaim. His new CD is Dead Air Alive on Montreal's PetiteSono Records. NAW [ www.noisefactoryrecords.com ] a.k.a Neil Wiernik, joins the tour in support of his new full-length CD Green Nights Orange Days (Noise Factory Records). Purveyor of experimental dub-tech rhythms, sound design and manipulation, he has been a force in the Canadian electronic, techno and ambient music scene for 10 years. A co-founder and member of Montreal's Phoniq collective, he has just returned from a European mini-tour. AKUMU [ www.spiderrecords.com ] Ambient sounds and shadowy beats with digital video manipulations from Toronto's Deane Hughes (Thrive/Alchemy). The latest Akumu CD, Fluxes (Spider Records) was composed in Central America and has been compared to Tim Hecker by Montreal's ICI magazine and called "soundtrack to an imaginary David Cronenberg Movie" by Toronto's eye weekly. CYAN [ www.traktion.com ] cyan has been a regular of montreal's independent airwaves since 1996 and currently co-hosts modular systems on ckut 90.3 fm. one of the founding members of the phoniq collective, her dj sets can vary from minimal, dub and glitch sounds to deep detroit inspired techno rhythms. |
