Greg ------------------------------------------------------------ Stained Productions presents A MONTH OF SUNDAYS 2 A four-week series of live electronic & experimental music, featuring artists from Toronto and around the world. Week Two: LENA [from Belgium] XINGU HILL [from Montreal/Belgium] DISPLACER Sunday, November 14th Tequila Lounge, 794 Bathurst St. (at Bloor) $5 at the door - doors at 8 PM, live music starts at 9 PM - 19+ http://www.stainedproductions.com http://www.tequilalounge.ca -------------------- 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. http://www.aavvrriill.com http://www.quatermass.net -------------------- XINGU HILL November 14th, 10 PM Xingu Hill is one of the numerous pseudonyms used by Canadian-Belgian artist John Sellekaers. Born in Montreal in 1973 and raised in Belgium, Sellekaers has recorded around 40 albums since 1995 - some solo, some in collaboration with others - under names such as Dead Hollywood Stars, 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 on music, with a handful of releases due on various labels in coming months. http://www.metarc.com http://www.hymen-records.com -------------------- 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. http://www.dsplcr.com http://www.m-tronic.com :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Greg Clow ::: greg@stainedproductions.com ::::::::: concert & event promotions ::: http://www.stainedproductions.com :::::: electronic music radio & reviews ::: http://www.feedbackmonitor.com ::: electronic/experimental record label ::: http://www.pieheadrecords.com ::::::::: 158 Close Ave. 2nd Floor ::: Toronto, Ontario M6K 2V5 ::: Canada --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
