The SAT and EAF are collaborating on a new concert series that aims to present artists whose practices and sounds are divergent, unconventional and, above all, innovative. The EAF booking promises quality discoveries and memorable experiences, with unusual and stimulating proposals. For this first edition, the SAT and EAF are welcoming Italian artist Heith as headliner, joined by Orchestroll and Audréanne Filion for an AV show.
A multi-disciplinary artist from Milan signed to German label PAN, Heith or Daniele Guerrini’s audiovisual experiments carefully blend post-industrial, folk and ambient influences into evocative, human electronics. Come July, Guerrini will offer us an AV show based on his first album X Wheel (2022); not just an interpretation, but a thoughtful extension of this initial project.
Orchestroll is the culmination of the respective talents of Jesse Osborne-Lanthier and Asaël Richard-Robitaille (Bataille Solaire). Their pedigree is long and wide, allowing them to create completely bursting performances, demonstrating their mastery over several genres; one instant they’re laying down IDM tracks with a club feel, in the next they’re on a post-minimalist new age riff, Orchestroll never misses an opportunity to surprise and to redefine good taste.
Finally, cellist and accomplished multi-instrumentalist Audréanne Filion offers a hybrid performance of classical, ambient, noise and experimental, tactfully combining acoustic and electronic music. Improvised in nature, her performances are always unpredictable yet skillful and delightful.

A fan of experimental and alternative electronic music, Lapointe aims to give unconventional music a new place in Montreal’s cultural landscape, and to bring it to the international stage through daring shows and high-caliber releases.
Meet the artists
Heith
Daniele Guerrini (1992) is an artist and musician based between Milan and London. In his practice, music, performance, and visual arts intersect. The founder of the music label Haunter Records has a pronounced interest in the interconnections between spirituality and cultural marginality as forms of resistance, imagination, and world-building.
His work investigates the boundaries of language communicability and its hybridisation, primarily manifested through his music project Heith, active since 2013, through which he has released music on the German label PAN and presented his work in festivals, institutions, and theaters including ICA London, Volksbühne Berlin, MACRO Rome, CTM Festival Berlin.
Orchestroll, the duo of Jesse Osborne-Lanthier and Asaël Richard-Robitaille, leverages their extensive studio experience to explore esoteric soundscapes. Known for their work with artists like Bernardino Femminielli and Marie Davidson, they break free from conventional constraints to create a unique and aestheticized sound. Orchestroll's music blends EDM, pop, rock, musique concrète, new-age, ambient, orchestral, and club elements into a distinctive auditory experience. As co-founders of Editions Appaerent, they have contributed to records by various artists and designed presets for major plugins like Native Instruments' Absynth and Arturia's Pigments. Their performances, from festivals to Paris Fashion Week, showcase a dynamic range, fitting seamlessly into diverse environments.
