Title link takes you to some shots of Mutek Montreal 2006 sent my way via Mike Jerugim. It looks like it was a great show. For more on Mutek in general, click here - note the language links on the top right of each festival."Thought you might want to see some of the pics that I posted from the Mutek festival in Montreal last Sunday Night. I had to leave after the second act, as the subways were going to stop running, but hopefully you'll get the idea. It was really inspiring to see an electronic music scene that was so alive and vibrant. They truly appreciated the music that (thankfully) was not 100% boom boom techno. It really felt like this crowd was sophisitcated in their tastes, and generally accepting of music that most neophytes might consider a bit "challenging". My hat is off to the Mutek organizers, performers, and most of all the Montreal audiences. They were simply great. I can't wait to come back next year!!!"
Hey, what's wrong with boom boom techno? : P
I've never heard boom-boom techno at mutek. I haven't seen the really high profile shows they present. I guess if you stick to the lesser known people performing there, you'll hear weird and wonderful things. I don't always like what i hear but i discovered interesting things.
ReplyDeleteBesides, there was a free show on saturday. It was great :)
Boom boom techno was an amazing new revelation....15 years ago. My wife and I can't be the only people out there thirsting for something a tad different, can we????
