I Dream of Wires showcase
MUTEK Montreal, 13th Edition
Saturday June 2, 2012
I'm very excited to announce that we will be presenting an I Dream of Wires showcase at this year's edition of MUTEK Montreal. For those who don't know, MUTEK is the most prestigious electronic music festival in North America, now in it's 13th year.
I worked with MUTEK to curate this event. All of the artists will be incorporating modular synthesizers into their performances, and the event will be filmed for inclusion in the documentary. The line-up:
Clark (Warp Records, UK)

Container (Spectrum Spools, USA)

Solvent (Ghostly International/Suction Records, Canada)

Keith Fullerton Whitman (Kranky/Editions Mego, USA)

Sealey/Greenspan/Lanza (Orphx/Junior Boys, Canada)
J.S. Bach two part inventions, for modular synthesizers.

The showcase will be held at the amazing new Satosphere venue, a planetarium-style dome. We will be projecting visuals from the film throughout the performances, for a truly immersive modular experience:

From MUTEK's website:
"American composer KEITH FULLERTON WHITMAN [is] considered by many to be one of his generation’s most critically acclaimed disciples of electronic music’s avant-garde classical roots.... Whitman will be joining Toronto synth-electro veteran SOLVENT (Jason Amm), who returns to the festival after a decade’s absence. Amm will be leading a showcase that includes Whitman, UK Warp act CLARK, American indie-techno producer CONTAINER, and more, to take place at Montreal’s new Satosphere, a truly original planetarium-style dome for digital-arts performance. This showcase will be filmed for the upcoming feature-length documentary “I Dream of Wires”, which explores the resurgence of the modular synthesizer. In the month of May, MUTEK TV will be featuring exclusive weekly excerpts from the film."

Hope to see some of you there... for the rest of you, we will be sure to post extended from the showcase on our Vimeo channel!
thanks,
Jason Amm,
Producer, "I Dream Of Wires"

MUTEK did all of the negotiating with Clark, so I have yet to ask him... But yes, that is the plan, and I imagine he will be game.

Very exciting and welcome addition to a DVD!! Makes me think this part of video should be the most intelligible way of educating people on the role modular synths play in music. I mean, blinkenlights alone are impressive, but to help those totally new to the subject catch on, a live footage would help perhaps more so than in-depth interviews full of special terms and abbrevations - all while that's what most of us appreciate most.
Also, can't help but applaud an idea of an all-modular festival - indeed much the right thing! 
And the last, I have a question: will there be english subtitles on a disc?
Cheers!

Thanks for the enthusiasm! Yes we think an event like this, showcasing modern musicians using modular synthesizers live, makes an important point in the film. I couldn't have been happier when MUTEK accepted my proposal, and the line-up is just perfect IMO.

Well, the film will be in english... you mean will we have subtitles for other languages? I would guess 'yes' but details like this are not really at the top of our list of priorities at this point! |

Yea, I know it's in english but that's what I meant. For example, I don't remember whether I got hold of all the things you said when watching your interview about aphex twin and stuff, but probably not. English is not my native language and while I may know absolutely all the words used in film, I still can't understand everything by ear and have to turn on subtitles. Probably it's not an issue for those living in an english-speaking environment - even if english is not their native language, they could hear it quite often on the streets, and it makes understanding lyrics or film dialogs a matter-of-course. So, that's why I asked

OK I see what you're saying. Still too early to give you a definite answer, but I will keep this in mind. |

I'll be in Mtl for this, so stoked! 
The Satosphere looks amazing. I'm sure the sound will be great too.
Looking forward to it! |

MUTEK's awesome, but can get pretty expensive quickly if you want to hit up the good shows.
Therefore, I'm volunteering this year (free tickets!). |

Looks like a perfect line-up! Saw Keith perform in good ol' Belgium about a month ago, and it was such a great performance, great guy and he masters his modular like no other I've ever seen. Love Clark a lot too, so please record the entire set, someone!

Glad that you enjoyed the showcase! I am beyond bummed that I had to miss this... You can imagine I was in pretty rough shape - not only did I miss the chance to perform at MUTEK, and to see the showcase that I spent weeks working with MUTEK to curate/organize, I also missed out on the opportunity to open for some of my musical heroes, Dopplereffekt, in NYC two days before the MUTEK show... Bah! I am finally coming around though, which is good because we're off to Germany & London next week to conduct the final interviews for the film
