LENA
November 14th, 11 PM
Mathias "Lena" Delplanque's adventure began in Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso)
in 1973. Rocked by the sounds of disco, reggae, zouk and Congolese rumba,
he began his music studies (organ and piano) at a very young age. In an
atypical way, his musical horizons open up radically: Tom Waits, Art of
Noise, Public Enemy, Pierre Henry, Edgar Varèse, Stockhausen. In 2000, he
released his debut album "Bilder" (Harmsonic Records, UK) under the name
Bidlo. His stumbling upon Fauklner's writings, especially "Light in August"
gave birth to Lena, an alias inspired by the wanderings of one character,
Lena Grove. The debut album "Lane" (Quatermass, Belgium) came out in 2002
and featured a mix of deep digital dub, primitive art, and something close
to the German minimal techno-dub sound. This year saw the release of Lena's
second opus, "Floating Roots". At the crossroads of the various influences
he has absorbed since his African childhood, Mathias Delplanque reinvents
dub by crossing Lee Perry with Pole, giving life to a hybrid monster of sorts.

Xingu Hill is one of the numerous pseudonyms used by Canadian-Belgian

Ambre, Ammo, Urawa, Moonsanto & Uncotones. He also runs Metarc, a mastering
and production facility aimed at off-beat musicians and labels. Recently
relocated back to his birthplace, Sellekaers continues to tirelessly work

DISPLACER
November 14th, 9 PM
Displacer is Toronto's Michael Morton, a young and multi-talented artist
who splits his creative time between music, illustration and web-design.
Raised in the country on a diet of comic books, sci-fi/horror movies and
heavy metal, Morton left home at 18 for college where he took interpretive
illustration and discovered industrial & techno music. Dreams of forming a
metal band changed to dreams of making electronic music, and in the year
2000, Displacer was born. He has since released two albums on France's
M-Tronic label, including this year's "Aroyo", and has played live shows in
Canada, the US and Europe.
