"I Dream of Wires showcase
MUTEK Montreal, 13th Edition
Saturday June 2, 2012

I'm very excited to announce that we will be presenting an I Dream of Wires showcase at this year's edition of MUTEK Montreal. For those who don't know, MUTEK is the most prestigious electronic music festival in North America, now in it's 13th year.

I worked with MUTEK to curate this event. All of the artists will be incorporating modular synthesizers into their performances, and the event will be filmed for inclusion in the documentary. The line-up:

Clark (Warp Records, UK)

Sealey/Greenspan/Lanza (Orphx/Junior Boys, Canada)
J.S. Bach two part inventions, for modular synthesizers.


The showcase will be held at the amazing new Satosphere venue, a planetarium-style dome. We will be projecting visuals from the film throughout the performances, for a truly immersive modular experience:



From MUTEK's website:

"American composer KEITH FULLERTON WHITMAN [is] considered by many to be one of his generation’s most critically acclaimed disciples of electronic music’s avant-garde classical roots.... Whitman will be joining Toronto synth-electro veteran SOLVENT (Jason Amm), who returns to the festival after a decade’s absence. Amm will be leading a showcase that includes Whitman, UK Warp act CLARK, American indie-techno producer CONTAINER, and more, to take place at Montreal’s new Satosphere, a truly original planetarium-style dome for digital-arts performance. This showcase will be filmed for the upcoming feature-length documentary “I Dream of Wires”, which explores the resurgence of the modular synthesizer. In the month of May, MUTEK TV will be featuring exclusive weekly excerpts from the film."
