The artistic duo Chloë Lum and Yannick Desranleau are known on the international music scene as co-founders of the avant-rock group AIDS Wolf, for whom they also produced award-winning concert posters under the name Séripop. For Suoni, they will be launching their new album, The Garden of a Former House Turned Museum, to be released on NO HAY BANDA's in-house label, No Hay Discos. The songs were created in close collaboration with vocalist Sarah Albu, who is featured on all tracks alongside a slew of local musicians. From Lum & Desranleau's installation of the same name, the album features six original songs composed from a series of letters written by a fictional artist to deceased Ukrainian-born, Brazilian novelist Clarice Lispector. Described as auto-fiction, the letters seek worldly advice and reveal Lum and Lispector’s shared experience of living with chronic pain. Dramatic in tone, and exaggerated when sung, these monologues feature several performers who, in an entwined choreography of semantics and movement, solicit guidance from the erudite and sly ghost of Lispector, who resides in an imagined afterlife in which her notoriety prevents her from truly dying. Each letter brims with anxious observations and philosophical questions on the sculptural structure of language and translation, botanical growth and decay, urban life, bodies in pain and transformation, and musings of the afterlife. NO HAY BANDA, a Montreal-based organization dedicated to showcasing avant-garde music in collaboration with Tomomi Adachi, is thrilled to present a performance of his new opera, “Body without Organs (with Organ)”. Tomomi Adachi is a performer, composer, sound poet, instrument builder, and visual artist. Known for his versatility, he has performed his own voice and electronic pieces, sound poetry, improvised music, and contemporary music at prestigious venues worldwide. Adachi's compositions are groundbreaking, made with a wide range of materials, including self-made physical interfaces and instruments, artificial intelligence, brainwave, artificial satellite, Twitter texts, and paranormal phenomena.
