The daring Montreal quartet Architek Percussion performs the works of two Canadian composers, Andrea Young and Sabrina Schroeder. These works, each lasting half an hour, share the common feature of linking percussion played in real time with electronic sounds. They also exploit the reverberation and spatialization of sound sources, and both are intended to “explore the limits of time”, and the listener is advised to “let themself be carried away by a series of musical moments that seem endless”, and live “an immersive acoustic experience”.
“Slow, quiet music in search of electric happiness.” That’s a remarkable program! The wording’s less surprising when you consider that it’s about Montrealer Tim Brady’s Instruments of Happiness electric guitar quartet. The wonderful acoustics and rich natural reverberation of the Gesù church will be put to good use during this resolutely meditative concert. Presented back to back, four pieces for digitally treated electric guitars, created by Canadian composers Louise Campbell, Rose Bolton, Andrew Noseworthy and Andrew Staniland. To add a little movement to the show – and to our happiness – dancers Roger Sinha and Marie-Ève Lafontaine, from Sinha Danse, will also be on the stage.
