featuring:

* Julia Kent

Canadian-born, New York City-based Julia Kent uses multitracked cello, found sounds, and electronics to create solo music that has been described as "cinematic and impressionistic," "organic yet powerful," and "deeply personal and committed." She has released two full-length solo records: Delay (2007) and Green and Grey (2011), as well as an EP, Last Day in July (2010). Her music has been heard in film soundtracks and as accompaniment to theatre and dance performances, and she has toured throughout Europe and North America, including appearances at Primavera Sound in Barcelona, the Donau Festival in Austria, and the MIMI Festival in Marseille. http://www.juliakent.com/

* Jen Reimer

Jen Reimer is a Montreal-based sound artist and multi-instrumentalist. Her work explores sound mass composition and urban soundscape through site-specific creation, improvisation and live performance in public spaces. She received a Bachelor of Music in music performance from the University of Alberta, was an artist in residence at The Banff Centre for the Arts and received a Graduate Diploma in music performance studies from Concordia University, Montreal. Jen has participated in various international festivals including Montreal Highlights Festival, 2nd Annual Performance Art Festival (Athens, GR), Crossing Border Festival (Den Haag, NE), Culture Collide Festival (Los Angeles, CA) and Nuit Sonores (Lyon, FR). She can be heard/seen collaborating and performing with artists and special friends, Gambletron, UN, Max Stein, SCUSI, 3Horns, HRSTA, Zsofia Zambo, Nive Nielsen and Matana Roberts. She is a co-founder of The Noisy Kitchen music school and recording studio. http://www.jenreimer.com/

* Les Momies De Palerme

Les momies de Palerme est un duo composé de Marie Davidson et Xarah Dion, actif à Montréal depuis 2007. Le groupe a joué au festival Suoni Per Il Popolo 2008, au festival l'Off de Québec 2008-09, au festival de Musique actuelle de Victoriaville 2010 et au festival Voix d'Amériques 2011. Le duo a partagé la scène avec Stars of the Lid, Shalabi Effect, The Murray Street Band, Jaap Blonk et de nombreux autres.

Les momies de Palerme créent un son non catégorisable. Un noyau de synthétiseurs, voix, guitare et violon traités. Des lenteurs non pompeuses, une plasticité qui pastiche peu, des compositions restreintes et méthodiques, étrangement dévotionnelles.

Le nouvel album Brûlez ce coeur est une surprise, un sacrement. Des cantiques hallucinés, truffés de clin d’oeils séduisants et avant-gardistes. Un chant apaisant, étrange et méditatif. http://cstrecords.com/les-momies-de-palerme/
