On fait sauter les coffres!
Cette dixième édition constitue à nos yeux l'occasion rêvée de finalement ouvrir la capsule témoin maintenue sous bonne garde au quartier général de MUTEK et vous faire profiter de nos morceaux choisis des concerts et performances en direct enregistrés ces neuf dernières années.
Vous aurez accès ici-même à des podcasts hebdomadaires de ce qui constitue à nos oreilles rien de moins que le meilleur de la musique électronique jamais produite! Nous avons passé des mois à revisiter les archives audio de MUTEK depuis sa création et le moins que l'on puisse dire est que nous y avons retrouvé plus d'un set incontournable! Si ça vous démange de savoir qui se cache derrière cesvéritables « classiques », c'est sur MACROMUTEK qu'il faut cliquer pour une liste de l'intégralité des artistes ayant pris part au festival ou à l'un ou l'autre de la multitude d'événements MUTEK présentés à travers le monde.

Atom Heart MUTEKLIVE037
June 2, 2002 // Live in Montreal
Uwe Schmidt, musicien allemand, a fait connaître sa production sous une multitude de surnoms tout au long de sa longue et distinguée carrière. Son départ pour le Chili en 2004 est sans doute symptomatique de son intérêt pour une musique détachée des tendances et trajectoires traditionnelles et représente à ses yeux un moyen d’« échapper à la scène musicale européenne ». Atom Heart clôturait la grande finale de MUTEK 2002 avec ses rythmes irrésistibles et mélodies expérimentales.
Murcof MUTEKLIVE036
June 2, 2002 // Live in Montreal
Murcof is the latest musical project by Tijuana's Fernando Corona. Influenced by classical and electronic minimalism, Murcof works primarily with orchestral samples, processing the sound sources into new textures and fusing them with microscopic sounds and rhythms. This performance marks Murcof's debut at MUTEK, a wonderful start to what became regular presentations of his distinct deep, introspective sound at various MUTEK events around the globe.
Loscil MUTEKLIVE035
June 6, 2004 // LIVE IN MONTREAL
This marks Vancouver-based Loscil's first MUTEK appearance. Working in ultra-minimalistic electronic dub, his ambient creations have been presented through numerous releases on Chicago's Kranky label, as well as on compilations on labels such as Idol Tryouts and Ghostly International. With his gentle, low-key downtempo, Loscil's 2004 performance marked the beginning of the closing night at MUTEK in 2004.
Barem MUTEKLIVE034
May 30, 2008 // LIVE IN MONTREAL
Mauricio Barembuem (aka Barem) is one of the new emerging talents of Latin American techno. Barem's productions are based on a characteristic groove made up of synthetic samples, analogue elements and hypnotic basslines, although like most Latin American artists he never misses the chance to integrate rhythmic flourishes. This MUTEK 2008 performance marked the Canadian debut for Barem.
Cam MUTEKLIVE033
June 1, 2001 // LIVE IN MONTREAL
To start off the new year we have a podcast dating back to the early days of MUTEK. Performing as part of seminal record label Traum, France's Philippe Cam brought his intimate knowledge of contemporary electronic music to the festival. Exploring serial techno and cinematographic currents, his contemplative music is the perfect way to slide back into the grind after the holidays.
Sutekh MUTEKLIVE032
June 3, 2007 // Live in Montreal
Highly sought-after for his productions, remixes, and performances, Sutekh is an artist that constantly pushes the limits of his sound. While not his first appearance at MUTEK, Sutekh's 2007 performance at the MUTEK@Piknic event was a very memorable one. Sit back and enjoy his excellent performance and sense of humour, a good break from all the holiday medleys out there right now.
Lusine MUTEKLIVE031
May 30, 2009 // Live in Montreal
Lusine performed in the intimate Savoy room of the Metropolis, as part of a Decibel festival showcase. Producing music for over 10 years now, with steady releases on Ghostly International as well as on numerous compilations, Lusine's style embodies warm, melodic as well as abstract compositions. His last MUTEK performance came right before the release of his fantastic new full-length, A Certain Distance, in September 2009, and concordantly gives you a nice taste of what the producer's latest offering is all about.
Rechenzentrum MUTEKLIVE030
May 31, 2001 // LIVE IN MONTREAL
This is the first of several enchanting MUTEK appearances of Germany's Rechenzentrum. The audiovisual duo of Lillevaen (visuals) and Marc Weiser (music) have, over the course of ten years, created a reputation based on their modern soundtracks of depth and austerity that are expertly blended with atmospheric and rhythmic visual narratives.
Farben MUTEKLIVE029
June 1, 2002 // LIVE IN MONTREAL
Farben is one of the many monikers used by Germany's Jan Jelinek. Characterized by deep basslines and using cuts from early jazz and rock recordings, Farben expertly combines a funky style with clicky, glitchy beats. This set documents his first appearance at MUTEK, in a densely-packed night that included other minimal heavyweights such as Losoul, Ben Nevile, Luomo and Ricardo Villalobos.
Brendon Moeller MUTEKLIVE028
May 30, 2009 // Live in Montreal
Coming back again Saturday's PIKNIC 1 at MUTEK_10, we come to New York-based Brendon Moeller's stellar and very memorable mix. Another highlight for the team this year, Moeller artfully blended influences such as dub, techno, jazz, and, of course, baaaass in a set that really got the crowd moving.
Brendon was kind enough to provide us with a few words about his set at MUTEK, complete with a tracklisting for those that want to dig deeper:
