MUTEK / Music, Sound and New Technologies - 2nd Edition
Montreal, May 16 - 20, 2001

MUTEK_NEWS #1
Welcome to the first edition of our newsletter designed to bring you the
latest developments concerning MUTEK for the upcoming months. We have just
finished putting together our database and your email address has been added
to our distribution list. If you do not wish to receive information on
MUTEK, please reply to this email by stating so.
Following the last edition of MUTEK in June 2000, our team has been busy
organizing the new media section of the Montréal International Festival of
New Cinema and New Media (FCMM), signing another successful MEDIA LOUNGE, in
October 2000. With the arrival of the new year, our next challenge is
already upon us: MUTEK 2001!
NEW DATES
This year, MUTEK 2001 will take place Wednesday May 16th to Sunday May 20th.
A change that was deemed necessary because the Montréal Grand Prix is itself
destined for our initial choice. The scope of that event being such that
the entire tourist infrastructure is already immobilised, the new dates will
thus allow MUTEK to launch Montreal's season of events.
PROGRAM
Program planning for MUTEK 2001 is already underway and will continue until
the end of February. Our mission is to be on the cutting edge of innovation
in the field of electronic music and sound creation and to provide an
environment for discovery and exchange between the artists and the public.
The challenge for 2001 is to further develop the formula of the first
edition of MUTEK and to retain its essence. Once again, the heart of the
program will centre around five days of intense music and sound
experimentation. With its international content, including a series of
connected activities (such as conferences and demos), MUTEK 2001 promises to
be a unique event not to be missed. Program and venues will be unveiled
during our press conference on April 3rd, 2001.
MUTEK_MICRO
In 2001, MUTEK will organise special evenings in the spirit of pursuing its
mission all year round. These "micro" events will be the occasion to
discover new talent or to re -experience some of the artists that have been
hosted by MUTEK or by the FCMM in the past. The first of the series, MICRO
I, will be presented on February 9th, at Studio Main (Just for laughs
Museum, 2109 St-Laurent Blvd).
Featured artists will be:
- Kit Clayton (live), San Francisco
- Monolake (live), Berlin
- Deadbeat (live), Montreal
- MUTEK DJs
Tickets are 20$, 15$ for students, available starting January 29 at
Ex-Centris (3536 St.-Laurent), Rotation (30 Prince-Arthur W.) and CDesoterik
(1841 C St-Catherine W.), Cheap Thrills (2244 Metcalfe) and Atom Heart (364
B Sherbrooke E.).
