SuperMusique

Artists: Joane Hétu, Diane Labrosse, Danielle Palardy, Jean Derome and Pierre Tanguay (all Quebec)

Date: March 10 and 11, 2009

Workshop: March 10, 2009

SuperMusique played compositions and sonic experiments that featured their historic songbooks and improvisational techniques both as individual and group composers. The program featured SuperMusique in various group settings as the quintet splintered into trios and duos as certain points throughout the performance.

SuperMusique is the trio Les Poules (Joane Hétu, Diane Labrosse, and Danielle Palardy Roger) and the duo of Jean Derome and Pierre Tanguay, all established artists in the international network of composer performers and improvisors whose sonic experiments with extended instrument techniques, sampling and musique actuelle give a dynamic take on collaborative composition. Their concerts cite unstructured rock, fragmented jazz, splintered songs, reinvented traditions, bruitist environments, improvisation, the blending of acoustic and electroacoustic instruments and new ensemble music.

Diane Labrosse (voice, accordion, sampling), Joane Hetu (sax, voice), Danielle Palardy Roger (percussion, voice, electronics), Jean Derome (sax, flute), and Pierre Tanguay (percussion, voice).
