CULTURAL BRUNCH - L'ESTRAN
Brunch-show $35, taxes and service included. From 10:00 a.m.
Show only: 1:00 p.m., $15
The L’estran was born from the meeting between the poet Isabelle Miron, the composer and guitarist Sébastien Sauvageau and the foreshore of the St. Lawrence River, this area of the shore discovered and covered to the rhythm of the tides. The words of Isabelle Miron recount the foreshore and call for the dissolution of the boundaries between the eras and the beings who have shaped this ecosystem. Bringing together traditional tunes from Quebec and contemporary sounds close to the soundscape and jazz, the trio made up of violinist Dâvi Simard, drummer Olivier Bernatchez and Sauvageau on guitar and other instruments, also crosses borders. A bewitching work that leads to wonder and humility in front of the grandeur of the St. Lawrence and the foreshore, a veritable wharf for all departures and all arrivals.

The foreshore at high tide. Salty air that slides and swirls, wrinkled waters where the seal, this morning, showed its beautiful head, its muzzle. Everything is covered and sparkling, except for the big rocks that have been lying here and there for I don't know how long, and born like us from some star.
–Isabelle Miron
The foreshore was born from the meeting between the poet Isabelle Miron, the composer Sébastien Sauvageau and the foreshore of the St. Lawrence River, this area of the shore discovered and covered to the rhythm of the tides.
Isabelle's words recount the foreshore and call for the dissolution of the boundaries between eras and the beings who have shaped and shape this ecosystem. The poetic suite invites you to really see, feel and hear what lives there. Here, large rocks, born like us from some star, rub shoulders with what the tides bring and take from moon to moon; children look for “clams” with both feet in the flats passing by the very place where, in the 18th century, Marie Caresse ran the Auberge du repos, a place where unfortunate travelers mysteriously disappeared.
Bringing together traditional tunes from Quebec and contemporary sounds close to the soundscape and jazz, the trio made up of violinist Dâvi Simard, drummer Mili Hong and Sauvageau on guitar and other instruments also crosses borders. Through its rich timbres, the ensemble creates a veritable musical poetry that prolongs the words of the river carried by Miron.
A bewitching work that brings wonder and humility to the grandeur of the St. Lawrence and the foreshore, a veritable quay of all departures and all arrivals.

“ Collaboration Tools for the Percussionist in Improvised Music”
About this event
The Access Artists Mentorship Program is a creative workshop program for musicians elevating womxn, non-binary, and persons of historically underrepresented and marginalized communities. The goal of AAMP is to find balance, diversity, and a stronger sense of community through the facilitation of accessible, high-quality resources.
Mentor:
Mili Hong | Multi-Faceted Drummer
There are a lot of parallels between Improvised music and improvised conversation. Effective techniques for leading conversations include the utilization of space between sentences, body language, listening to others, breathing, and speaking at moderate speeds and volumes. On the other hand, methods such as interrupting, mimicking, or yelling at each other are not encouraged unless the speaker wants to raise considerable tension within the conversation. When improvising with others, people who may have never met before have the opportunity to expose their emotions through music and sound and make themselves vulnerable. This is the beautiful thing about improvised music! In this workshop, everyone will learn to use the methods mentioned above to express their feelings/thoughts through percussion playing.
`Mentee: Ruiqi Wang

Le Programme de Mentorat Accès aux Artistes est un programme d’ateliers créatifs pour musicien.nes mettant en avant les personnes femmes, non-binaires ou de communautés historiquement sous-représentées et marginalisées. L’objectif du PMAA est de trouver un équilibre, une diversité et un sentiment approfondi de communauté à travers la médiation de ressources accessibles et de grande qualité.
Mentor:
Mili Hong | Batteuse polyvalente
Il existe de nombreux parallèles entre la musique improvisée et la conversation improvisée. Les techniques efficaces pour mener des conversations comprennent l’utilisation de l’espace entre les phrases, le langage corporel, l’écoute des autres, la respiration et la parole à des vitesses et volumes modérés. D’un autre côté, les méthodes telles que s’interrompre, se mimer ou se crier dessus ne sont pas encouragées à moins que l’orateur ne veuille augmenter considérablement la tension dans la conversation. Lorsqu’elles improvisent avec d’autres, des personnes qui ne se sont peut-être jamais rencontrées auparavant ont la possibilité d’exposer leurs émotions à travers la musique et le son et de se rendre vulnérables. C’est ce qu’il y a de beau dans la musique improvisée ! Dans cet atelier, chacun apprendra à utiliser les méthodes mentionnées ci-dessus pour exprimer ses sentiments/pensées à travers le jeu de percussion.

AERIALISTS
Aerialists meld their ferociously creative harmonic sensibilities and deep love of folk traditions into a post-rock-tinged prog/trad sound. Drawing from the wells of Nordic and Gaelic music while adding expansive modernist textures, this transatlantic quintet takes audiences on “a deep listening and thought-provoking journey, chock full of high-end musicianship”(Exclaim!).

At turns wistful and transcendent, Moondle opens the mind and uplifts the soul. Emma Postl vocals, Thomas Hoeller guitar, Cary Campbell guitar, Eli Davidovici bass, Mili Hong drums.

Installation:
dahan, dahan (careful, slowly) by April Aliermo with projections by Kat Estacio
dahan, dahan (careful, slowly) is a meditative sound installation created by discs of ice melting onto amplified metal sculptures. The sculptures are made from brass, copper and steel, producing varying textures of sound. Percussive rhythms change overtime as ice melts. Projected generative visuals respond and react to the sound of each water drop. A hypnotic wash of colour, light and sound bring one to consider the ways and speed at which we move through our days.
Ensemble SuperMusique: Cabinet de curiosités Cléo Palacio-Quintin/Thierry Dimanche, Elizabeth Millar, Ryoko Akama
Ticket link:
https://thepointofsale.com/tickets/czz21112300
FROM THE ORIGINS OF SOUNDS TO EXPLORATORY POETRY
SuperMusique is pleased to finally present Cabinet de curiosités and the works of composers Cléo Palacio-Quintin, Elizabeth Millar and Ryoko Akama. This concert had to be postponed in May 2020 because of public safety restrictions due to Covid-19.
“Cabinets de curiosités” are rooms in which varied collections of rare, new or peculiar things are displayed… like the various sounds that you might hear at this concert. Dating back to the Renaissance “cabinets de curiosités” were a means to discover the world. Mostly collections of natural specimens from faraway places, their usual purpose was to further the scientific understanding of these things.
This spirit of scientific research is evident in the psychoacoustic explorations of Elizabeth Millar in her composition Loudness, while for her work, Japanese-Korean artist Ryoko Akama was inspired by onomatopoeias which are very common in the Japanese language.
In her composition cycle Aléas, Cléo Palacio-Quintin draws on natural cycles and geological phenomena which have formed the earth. The abstract cosmology of the piece combines the poetry of Thierry Dimanche with the composer’s visual art (both analog and digital) in interactive improvised montages.
A concert in the company of the fiery improvising instrumentalists of Ensemble SuperMusique. From the emission of pure sound to the exploratory poetry of Thierry Dimanche, this concert will undoubtedly make you prick up your ears!
