MATTHEW HERBERT'S PLAT DU JOUR & EGG
FRIDAY FEBRUARY 25, 2005, 8PM
Spectrum de Montréal
318 Sainte-Catherine Street West
==================================
After London, Paris and Istanbul, MUTEK and the MONTREAL HIGHLIGHTS
festivals are thrilled to present the North American debut of PLAT DU JOUR,
the most recent project from British artist MATTHEW HERBERT.
A completely original sonic and visual experience which shines the spotlight
on our peculiar relationship with food, PLAT DU JOUR is the product of
almost three years of dedicated research. Moreover, it showcases the
artist's mature interpretation of the questionable nutritional habits that
have become embedded in our everyday dietary lifestyles. Reflecting his true
orchestral interests as an artist, Herbert enlists a supporting cast of
musicians as well as a chef to aid in his dynamic quest to break the mold of
uninspired, generic cuisine. Through his exploration of the various sounds
provoked by a menu of edible fare and sonically juggling their live samples,
Herbert tactfully denounces abuses within the food industry and the practice
of genetic modification with emphasis on the negative consumption habits
evident among today's consumers. The audience will witness a veritable
culinary creation-complete with a symphony of aromas to match!
To round out the evening's menu, Montreal duo EGG will offer us SCRAMBLED
EGG - a performance specially conceived for the occasion. EGG intends to
implement a new formula by exposing their exquisite creations to a series of
guest instrumentalists and electronic musicians: NICOLAS BOUCHER (keyboards,
sampler), JOSEPH MARCHAND (guitars), PATRICK WATSON (voice), STEVE BEAUPRE
(laptop) and DAVID FAFARD (laptop). Let yourself be tantalized by their
masterful seasoning of musical texturesS
