Habitat Sonore: An Overview
Habitat Sonore offers a new way of appreciating the local and international musical landscape by proposing a different kind of auditory experience beyond stereo listening. Musical presentations are delivered in an immersive and specialized manner within an intimate space.
New Programming: November 23, 2023, to February 4, 2024
Program 1: Jonathan Kawchuk
- There are just three sounds found on Everywhen, the new album from Canadian wildlife recordist, composer, and vocalist Jonathan Kawchuk: the human voice, sine tones from a synthesizer, and the Rocky Mountains near Kananaskis, Alberta.
Program 2: Karkwa
- The year 2023 marks the return of Karkwa, with the release of a new album Dans la seconde. The album opens with an instrumental piece, followed by a first triptych that echoes the major issues of our time. We then settle down for two airy, introspective songs, delicately interwoven. Then comes the title track, Dans la seconde, guiding us towards a larger-than-life exit with L'échafaud and Du courage pour deux.
Habitat Sonore Live: New Satellite Events
This new initiative highlights live performances by artists in our concert space at the PHI Centre. Our team has developed an immersive and spatialized sound system where artists will showcase new kinds of musical performances.
The first artist in this new series will be All is Well (Fred Everything) with his new album A Break in Time. In a more intimate approach, the artist will be at the center of the room, surrounded by the audience during his performance.
Experience Jon Hopkins' acclaimed beatless record at the inaugural Pitchblack Playback listening sessions held at the PHI Centre in Habitat Sonore in total darkness. The uncompressed 24-bit Dolby Atmos Mix will be played in its entirety, with zero distractions; just you and the music.
Join us in celebrating the anniversary of Habitat Sonore with a 5@7 event featuring Karkwa and their new album Dans la seconde. This new proposal marks the grand return of the Montreal-based group.
