Initiated by Stephen Beaupré, Gemmiform is a coalescence of his electronic music, the acoustic improvisations of The Banjo Consorsium (guitar, flute, accordion, mandolin), and the work of visual artists Nancy Belzile (experimental animation film), Patrick Bernatchez (drawing), and David Fafard (digital imaging, video, VJ live performances).

Exploring the relation of the electronic devices with the figurative, the organic, and the narrative, Gemmiform is organic and fragile, contemplative and emotional, yet still critical — a sensuality, a marrow, a gritty merging.
