The MUTEK Festival core series, Nocturne, unfolds across both floors of the Society for Arts and Technology from Wednesday to Sunday.

The series offers a wide view of contemporary electronic music practice and digital creativity, moving each evening through different atmospheres, formats, and levels of intensity.

From one night to the next, the series shifts between attentive listening, immersion, physical tension, and collective energy, never limiting itself to a single definition of electronic music.

ELECTRONICOS FANTASTICOS!

With salvaged appliances turned DIY electromagnetic instruments, Japanese music collective ELECTRONICOS FANTASTICOS! playfully reimagines the potential of live instrumentation. Folkloric melodies, buzzing textures, and upbeat rhythms become the voice of memories embedded in the apparatus of everyday life.

Jump Source

Freewheeling between gritty breakbeat snaps, deep house warmth, and dubby techno haze, Jump Source bring the sounds of their long-awaited album Fold. With their feet firmly on the groove pedals, the Montréal duo deliver infectious dancefloor-ready rhythms, dialing into the electric pulse of the city that never switches off.

Noémi Büchi

In Exuvie, Noémi Büchi meditates on transformation and corporeal memory, unraveling the fragile boundary between the real and the imagined. Symphonic, fluttering, and eerily dissonant, her electroacoustic compositions lace together recollected fragments of video game, anime, and hip hop influences, oscillating against depictions of the body as a living archive where memory, perception, and space ceaselessly contort.

Zora Jones

Zora Jones returns with a new album of heart-racing club hooks, bright pop distortions, and signature high-gloss production. Debuting live at MUTEK with a custom sound-reactive visual show, the performance pushes her explosive, mind-bending sound into bold new territory.

Arbor and Tzu Ni

Arbor and Tzu Ni deconstruct the digital image in Diffusion, exploring the pixel as both source of light and unit of meaning. Beginning where the image ends, they treat darkness as encoded data and listening as a way of knowing, staging a real-time feedback system between light, sound, image, and space. Through sonic diffusion, resonance, and spatial transmission, the work approaches sound not as accompaniment to the image, but as an unstable atmospheric force that continuously reshapes perception.

Korea Town Acid & Ajeebsir

In a hybrid spatial audio performance of Zero Gravity, Korea Town Acid & Ajeebsir invite audiences into a suspended, dreamlike world of ambient, glitch, and broken-beat sounds and kaleidoscopic visuals. Moving beyond stereo, Korea Town Acid's compositions extend the soundscape across and above the audience, shaping an immersive, liminal space mirrored by visual artist Ajeebsir's kinetic abstract forms, digital distortions, and fluid textures.

MOORE + SALAS

Using real-time generative technologies and expanded cinema techniques, MOORE + SALAS construct an immersive dome environment inspired by insect ecologies. Featuring music from Arthur Desmarteaux, the piece follows the concept of "umwelt," inviting audiences to explore the subtle shifts and micro-adjustments that make up each species' perception.

Nelly-Eve Rajotte

In Trees communicate with each other at 220 hertz, Nelly-Eve Rajotte combines moving image, generative sound, and biosensitive devices, transforming the dome into a boreal landscape where spectator and environment dissolve into one. With a modular synthesizer connected to a living tree, she simulates the organic sounds of the forest, opening space for contemplation on new forms of non-human perception of the living world.
