A Club SAT, in collaboration with MUTEK, featuring a French/Northern Irish artist, performer embodying the unexpected, sound designer exploring extremes, and founder of the interdisciplinary label and collective SFX: Zoë Mc Pherson. Opening the night are two artists from Montreal’s underground scene: CPR Annie and Amselysen.
Between sharp percussions, hyper-kinetic singeli rhythms, and emotive club-ready pop, Zoë Mc Pherson shapes bold sonic worlds where imagination and reality collide. Their wide-ranging practice embodies complete creative freedom, always in pursuit of new forms and sonic possibilities.
Alongside them, CPR Annie and Amselysen bring their singular visions of the club. CPR Annie, with sets free from genres and eras, liberated from any formatted thinking, breathes vital life into the dancefloor. Amselysen delivers polymorphic sets where IDM, noise, techno, hyperpop, and synthwave intertwine, creating a caustic and unpredictable club experience.
Zoë Mc Pherson embodies the unexpected. Their vibrant, nuanced music tests sonic extremes and musical pleasure, grapples with politics and raw emotion, shapes fantasy concepts and meditates on reality. Their albums and EPs strike out into uncharted zones, moving from the acute percussive angles to more melodious, vocal-charged exploration. Their style draws from soundsystem music, singeli rhythms, avant-garde synthesis, textural experimentation and club-ready pop. Mc Pherson has performed internationally at events such as CTM, MUTEK Mexico, Rewire and Novas Frequências, and developed installations and residencies with 4DSOUND at MONOM and the PHI Foundation. They also collaborate widely across different projects, lead workshops and run SFX, the multimedia platform they founded in 2020 to release their music and collaborative audio-visual projects.
CPR Annie is dedicated to giving the dancefloor the kiss of life it deserves. Unbound by specific genres and eras, she curates mixes that are free of formulaic thinking. On describing her sound, CPR Annie prefers to let the Machines talk and asserts that she has nothing more to say through the art of the Written Word.
As Amselysen, sound-recording artist Hakeem Lapointe never lingers on a single sound. After stints in IDM, noise, techno, art-pop and synthwave, their new endeavour promises dry, plastic, bold productions and pure electronic explosions. Still as hyperdynamic and iconoclastic as ever, Amselysen delivers wretched peace and caustic club rhythms.
