Caroline Savoie at the Théatre Outremont

by Rédaction PAN M 360

The result of an introspective retreat, the songs on Bruits Blanc, Caroline Savoie ‘s 3rd album produced by Joe Grass, were born in the heart of Acadia, in a landscape both generous and austere, in a climate as calm as it is tormented. More personal than ever, they are the very embodiment of her desire for independence and authenticity. Building on a decade of over 500 shows across French-speaking Canada and Europe, Caroline Savoie and her three musicians, Marco Gosselin, Donald O’Brien and Alexi Rioux, return to the stage to present the songs of Bruits blancs.

Résultat d’une retraite introspective, c’est au cœur de l’Acadie, dans ce paysage à la fois généreux et austère, dans ce climat aussi calme que tourmenté, que les chansons de Bruits blanc, 3e album de Caroline Savoie réalisé par Joe Grass, sont nées. Plus personnelles que jamais, elles sont l’incarnation même de son désir d’indépendance et d’authenticité. Forte d’une décennie qui compte plus de 500 spectacles à travers la francophonie canadienne et l’Europe, Caroline Savoie et ses trois musiciens, Marco Gosselin, Donald O’Brien et Alexi Rioux, retrouvent la scène pour présenter les chansons de Bruits blancs.

(POSTPONED) Niyaz : « The Fourth Light »

by Alain Brunet

Niyaz’s craft is based on the integration of traditional and sacred songs with a contemporary aesthetic. Their choice of instruments cements the East-West connection: keyboards, guitars, digital apps, santur, saz, kaval, kopuz, bendir, riq, qanun, tabla and sarod.

Founded in 2005, Niyaz is a band of Iranian origin formed around Azam Ali (voice, percussion and santur) and Loga Ramin Torkian (multi-instrumentalist). The couple and their child lived in Montreal for the past decade, then returned to California, where they had previously been based.

Recorded between Montreal and Istanbul, the album The Fourth Light is made up of the duo’s original songs, to which Turkish, Afghan and Iranian pieces are added. The songs are also inspired by Rabia Al Basri, a Sufi poetess and ascetic from the 8th century. The Fourth Light was launched in 2015, and five years later Niyaz come back to Montreal to perform it, roadtested and true.

Théâtre Outremont’s website notes, “The Fourth Light is a multimedia show, conceived by Jérôme Delapierre, where oriental lutes unfold in electroacoustic instrumentation and where lighting and scenography combine with the dance of Tanya Evanson, one of the few dervish dancers.”

Montréal Guitare Trio and California Guitar Trio: « Six guitares au sommet! »

by Michel Rondeau

Photo Credit: I. Vadnais

A meeting of two guitar trios, one from Montreal and the other from California. For the past 10 years or so, the musicians of the sextet thus formed have been getting together periodically to jam, record or perform. The show at l’Outremont is part of a North American tour that will take them to six other cities in Quebec.

In a Landscape, their most recent album together, produced in a church in the township of Gore, a municipality in the Laurentians north of Lachute, gives a good idea of the repertoire expected on the tour. It features both original pieces by members of the sextet and rearranged covers, such as Radiohead’s “Weird Fishes”, David Bowie’s “Space Oddity”, “Perpetuum Mobile” by the Penguin Cafe Orchestra and the title track, composed by John Cage.

Salomé Leclerc

by Alain Brunet

Salomé Leclerc undeniably found her path while exploring Les choses extérieures, by far the most conclusive recording of a career still in its early stages. Echoes of the concerts that followed were mostly enyhusiastic, and the cycle is not yet over. This abundantly talented lyricist, composer, multi-instrumentalist, director and performer, certainly one of the dominant figures in French-speaking North America at the turn of this decade, needs to be seen live. You’ll have to get off the couch to appreciate the more robust live versions of her excellent album’s tunes, to which are added her best works of earlier vintage. A must, without a doubt.
