Record stores:
The classical departments of the large stores (Archambault -
Ste-Catherine/Berri; HMV - Ste-Catherine/Peel) usually carry a selection of
the eD catalog as well as some other electroacoustic titles.
There's also Cheap Thrills (Metcalfe/Maisonneuve) and CD Esoterik
(Ste-Catherine/Guy?) which carry a good selection of electroacoustic titles
as well as other experimental music. I don't know if Atom Heart
(Sherbrooke/St-Denis?) has any... I think it focuses more on IDM, etc.
You can also find some in used record stores such as L'Échange (one on
Mont-Royal, the other on Saint-Denis).
Concert halls, etc.:
There are some electroacoustic concerts presented at the Faculty of Music of
the Université de Montréal (Salle Claude-Champagne - Vincent
d'Indy/Édouard-Montpetit). Maybe some at the Conservatoire, too... Not sure
about that.
Ex-Centris (Saint-Laurent/Prince-Arthur) also presents electroacoustic
concerts on some occasions (Rien à voir festival presented by Réseaux
[associated with folks from INA-GRM/eD], Mutek festival, etc.).
There are also some very good concerts at Théâtre La Chapelle
(Saint-Dominique) with ties to electroacoustic music. (Heard recently a
great piece by Louis Dufort for saxophone soprano and digital treatment
[presumably Max/MSP] there.)
Ah... there's also the SAT (Société des Arts Technologiques -
Sainte-Catherine/Jeanne-Mance) that presents all kinds of stuff (including a
series of Mutek shows for this year).
This should be a good start...
