"Of course it is understood that in speaking of movement we do not speak of the flight of seagulls any more than than in speaking of painting we speak of sunset." Len Lye and Laura Riding - 1935

Last Wednesday, the collective Basmati (Audrey Coianiz and Saul Sagatti) Detheux Jean and I have made a visual collective improvisation with musicians Jean Derome, Joane Hetu and Isaiah Ceccarelli, as part of MercrediMusics at Casa Obscura in Montreal. I had met Audrey and Saul in Macchiagodena in Italy last May during the IOProject where I participated with them in the Alkemax workshop. It was already expected that they would come to Montreal in September and we agreed to try organize something together in the same spirit. I suggested to Jean Derome to schedule a performance in the context of MercrediMusics at the Casa. He immediately accepted, and I invited Jean Detheux to join us.
