TEXTURES

Textures is a series of deep-listening events held on the last Saturday of 
each month at Pharmacie Esperanza. These salon-style concerts focus mainly 
on live performances of ambient, noise and experimental music in a 
comfortable and intimate setting.


I8U

I8U’s audio art can be qualified as "sound-sculpture". It reveals powerful, 
opaque and complex sound environments where analog and digital meet. Her web 
art can be said to follow a parallel path, incorporating both musical and 
visual elements. I8U's musical path is rather special. From classical music 
to the blues, it took only one chance meeting with David Kristian to get her 
involved in electronic music. Her work continues to evolve as technologies 
enable her to create in new environments.


TOMAS PHILLIPS

Tomas Phillips has composed electronic and electro-acoustic music since his 
first solo contribution to the Shadow Tape compilation in 1994. He has since 
released limited edition cd-r’s under the names Sea Optic, Lisbon and Eto 
Ami (in collaboration with Dean King). In 2002, Eto Ami created the sound 
design for choreographer Steve Paxton’s Flat, under the direction of Julee 
Snyder, in Carborro N.C. 2003 saw the release of Tomas’ On Dit on Trente 
Oiseaux. Selected performances: the Feather Net gallery in Raleigh, N.C. 
(2002), the Société Des Arts Technologique in Montreal, Quebec (2003), the 
Monument National in Montreal to accompany the 2003 production of Sarah 
Kane’s Crave (with J. Winston Phillips), an Eto Ami playback presentation at 
the Overgaden Sound Art Festival in Copenhagen (2004), a Technopera, in 
conjunction with Tobias C. van Veen and the McGill University Opera Company 
(Montreal, 2004) and the Placard Headphones Festival (Montreal 2005). 
Current and future projects include collaborative releases with Tobias c. 
van Veen (If Not, Winter, and/OAR 2005), Chantale Laplante (Chair Bell Floor 
2006), i8u (Anther, Petite Sono 2006) and Dean King (À Travers le Bord 
2006).


CLONAL MACHINA

Originating as part of the Real Ambient Movement in San Francisco, Clonal 
Machina is now based in Montreal. The music started in SF, experimenting 
with sound, different types of instruments and the creation of a short wave 
radio/loop machine. His sound is makes extensive use of field recordings and 
sound bytes. The roots of the music are with the musical philosophies of 
Brian Eno and John Cage as well as Luigi Russollo and the Futurist movement.
