On November 7th, EAF and SAT team up to offer you a deep plunge in surreal club sounds.
Starting the ceremonies is the duo Corporation (Racine, Keru Not Ever), presenting electronic/dance music with plunderphonic collage, and deep sample research. To top it off, William Hayes-Dulude will accompany them on visuals with a bespoke piece. Crown jewel of the night – Andy Stott – will present his vaporous instrumentations, where steady kicks guide the audience through haze and hypnotic vocals, shaping them into his famous slow dub-techno bangers.
A night promising a deep hypnotic atmosphere and surprising twists.
Andy Stott, born in Oldham and based around Manchester, is a British producer whose career has steadily evolved since his debut in the mid-2000s. A former piano student, he shifted to sound design and began releasing music with the Modern Love label in 2005. His early dub techno experiments culminated in his first album Merciless (2006), before he embraced darker, more experimental sounds on Passed Me By and We Stay Together (2011). Later works, including Luxury Problems (2012) and Never the Right Time (2021), showcase his collaborations with Skidmore and his uniquely atmospheric style.
The duo Corporation, formed by Racine (Julien Racine) and Keru Not Ever (Justin Leduc-Frenette), have been linking contemporary electronic music with the brute practices of electro-acoustic and plunderphonic music for several years. This - as patent in their debut album, Graffito (2019 [Genot Centre]) as in their sophomore, Tableaux du doute (tbr - 2025 [Danse Noire]) - results in hallucinatory music based on collage, superposition, repetition, synthesis and field-recording. It is composed as an acousmatic theater of sound artifacts without actors.
William Hayes-Dulude is a filmmaker and visual artist based in Montréal–Tiohtià:ke. He has directed several short fiction films, experimental works, and music videos, collaborating notably with artists such as John Robin-Bold and Corporation. His most recent short film, Le long du verger, was presented at the Festival du nouveau cinéma and at Rendez-vous Québec Cinéma. He is also one of the co-founders of Collection Libérée, a collective dedicated to organizing art exhibitions and musical performances.
