La Sotterenea - Montréal 14.73$

Jim Demos a grandi dans le quartier industriel de l’ouest de Winnipeg, parmi les gares de triage rouillées et les entrepôts en ruine. Il vit et travaille maintenant à Montréal, et se produit sous le nom d’Hellenica depuis 2012, dans lequel il fusionne habituellement des instrumentaux de type dark ambient utilisant des éléments de drone, de doom, de chant et des mélodies de guitare de type spaghetti-western. Ce n’était qu’une question de temps avant qu’il ne croise Eric Quach de Thisquietarmy, un pilier actif de la scène expérimentale locale, à travers ses nombreux concerts d’avant-garde. Ils ont joué ensemble à la Casa Del Popolo, de renommée mondiale, et à La Vitrola (RIP), son ancienne salle de concert, et se sont retrouvés à Berlin lors de leurs tournées européennes respectives, comme une échappée saisonnière régulière de la scène montréalaise, toujours en évolution, et du paysage musical canadien trop conservateur en général.

À l’approche de la pandémie, le 12 mars 2020, ils se sont tous deux croisés en plein renouveau urbain du quartier rétro-kitsch de St-Hubert pour assister à un dernier concert local avant le confinement de la province de Québec, puis ont patiemment attendu le passage de la première vague. Après avoir passé l’été dans les parcs et sans que la fin des restrictions sociales ne soit en vue, c’était le moment idéal pour organiser une jam session improvisée à Migration, un espace au puissant 6545 Durocher, connu pour ses soirées underground et ses concerts dans des lofts – le dernier bâtiment de ce type encore debout, situé dans une rue sans issue, en face de l’école hébraïque et de l’autre côté des infâmes voies ferrées F#A#infinity. Face à l’embourgeoisement, entourés de chantiers de construction, les vieux bâtiments ont été démolis et de nouveaux bâtiments flambant neufs ont été érigés les uns après les autres.

Jim Demos grew up in the west-end’s industrial part of Winnipeg among rusted train yards and crumbling storage facilities. He now lives and works in Montreal, and performs under the Hellenica moniker since 2012, in which he usually fuses dark ambient type instrumentals utilizing elements of drone, doom, chant and spaghetti-western guitar melodies. It was only a matter of time until he’d run into Eric Quach of Thisquietarmy, an active pillar of the local experimental scene, through its numerous avant-garde gigs. They’d play together at the world-renown Casa Del Popolo and its now-defunct sister-venue La Vitrola (RIP), and meet up in Berlin during their respective European tours, as a regular seasonal escape from the ever-evolving love/hate Montreal scene and the overly conservative Canadian musical landscape in general.

As the pandemic loomed upon on March 12th 2020, they both crossed paths in the middle of the urban renewal of the retro-kitsch St-Hubert strip to attend one last local gig before the lockdown of the province of Quebec, then patiently waited out for the first wave to pass by. After a few summer hangs in parks and with no end to the social restrictions in sight, it was the perfect time to set up a improvised jam session at Migration, a space at the mighty 6545 Durocher, known for its underground parties and loft gigs – the last building of its kind still standing, located at a dead-end street, in front of the Hebrew school and across the infamous F#A#infinity train tracks. In the face of gentrification, surrounded by construction sites, old buildings got torn down and shiny brand new ones erected one after the next.
