Alva Noto, Myriam Bleau

On May 9, 2026 at the Société des arts technologiques [SAT] in Montréal, Alva Noto unfolds HYBR:ID UNI PARA, an audiovisual set at the edge of minimal techno and IDM. Known for a methodical approach that links music, art, and science, he works with strict rhythmic grids, micro-glitch textures, and calibrated light to test how sound and image interact. Beats and data-driven motifs snap into place while spectral visuals trace patterns borrowed from coding and architecture. The piece narrows the focus to the granular, letting frequencies and pixels meet in tight synchrony. The result is a precise, physical reading of rhythm where tone, color, and pulse share the same structure.

Montreal composer and performer Myriam Bleau presents Hypermobility, a work that looks at constant travel and its environmental footprint. Fragments of club music surface and recede, steering a score that balances propulsion and restraint. Slim laser beams sketch geometric volumes in the air, locked to the meter and outlining routes, delays, and loops that echo the logistics of movement. Between percussive cues and clean light, the piece maps the patterns of a life always in transit, translating schedules and distances into sound and form.
