Marko Timlin (Helsinki)
Marko Timlin is a sound artist, composer, musician and inventor of virtual and analogue instruments. Breaking boundaries of composition and improvisation, Timlin's approach focuses on intuitive interaction with new electronic media. The creation of his music in his concerts happens in real-time and, therefore, is as surprising for him as it is for the audience. He allows the audience to witness a dialog between man and machine. For his performance at Lab Synthèse, Timlin will be using flashlights and solar panels to create sounds!

(Additional guests at the Lab Synthèse show may be announced later...)
and
Saturday March 21 @ Le Cagibi (5490 St-Laurent)
with
Louis Dufort (Montreal)
Dufort's music ranges from a cathartic form of expressionism mostly found in his early works to organicism focusing on the inner structure of sound matter in his latest works. I'm not sure exactly what he has in store for us this time, but he never disappoints so this is sure to be amazing.

Marko Timlin (Helsinki)
Marko Timlin will play a second set of completely different material at Le Cagibi, this time focusing more on a meditative, deep-listening experience.
Ensemble Pamplemousse (New York City)
Featuring flute, violin, cello, keyboards, drums and electronics, this ensemble of classically trained virtuosos will cram onto the small stage at Cagibi to deliver the final clincher in this two-day series. They promise to deliver "formerly unfathomable sound landscapes"! Who could resist such a promise?

Both shows start at 9 p.m.
Both are $5.
At the Lab Synthèse show you will have the option to buy a two-day pass for $8 if you want to see both shows.
