mmpsuf – could be plainly labelled as an electro-acoustic project. It is made of layers of vocals, harmony, electronic off-beat and steady rhythms, all of which strangely make sense. But the beauty behind this lies in the imagery, spaces and stories, which emerge with it — all so simple but so real.

mmpsuf amalgamates two creators Egle Sirvydyte and Aivaras Ruzgas. Both of them are quite known underground music figures in Vilnius.

mmpsuf is happy to go on, catch further ears and eyes, and play. In the meantime visit us at www.mmpsuf.lt

You can download our albums "Retina" (2012) and "Expeditors" (2011) for free in our website www.mmpsuf.lt

fünyboht is the alias of Hamilton-born Polish-Canadian artist, Michael A.M.

It is a creative outlet that often incites comparisons to Radiohead, Wilco, Tom Petty and Velvet Underground, but also instrumentally explores elements of soul, progressive metal, jazz and country-western.

Both the live shows and the recorded material are often bolstered heavily by a growing list of talented collaborators.

“I don't want to finish school. I wanna start a band.” No parents find comfort in hearing these words. The Ferreiras heard this twice. Menage is a Toronto duo consisting of siblings Bela and Fernando Ferreira.

Early on, in 2015 the brother/sister duo signed a deal with iPLAY records out of Portugal. Rotation on radio and two Portuguese national tours soon followed. 

In 2016 Menage released a full length release in China and supported this with a 14 city tour in China which included performances at the famous MIDI festival and MTA festivals. 

In 2017, Menage signed with Strega Entertainment Group management, which includes distribution through the SRG-ILS Group, alongside worldwide distribution through Universal Music Group, and EMI Music Europe & Caroline / EMI USA. 

Now with their eyes on North America, Menage will be releasing new music.  A tour and a changed generation will follow.

Darren Copeland is a Canadian sound artist who has been active since 1985 and lives outside the village of South River (Ontario). His work encompasses multichannel spatialization for live performance, fixed media composition, soundscape composition, radio art and sound installations.

His fixed-media compositions have explored both abstract and referential sound materials. Many of these works are released on the empreintes DIGITALes label. His radio art works engage in the associative qualities of environmental sounds in relation to spoken text and have been commissioned and presented by public radio broadcasters in Canada, the US and Europe. His sound installations include gallery and sited works which examine the relationship of sound and place, including Sound Columns (2011) co-created with Andreas Kahre, and Copeland’s installation Expanded Listening (2014).

Darren Copeland founded New Adventures in Sound Art (NAISA) in 2001. The organization established the NAISA North Media Arts Centre in South River in January 2017 after operating in Toronto for 16 years. The organization presents year round programming that include installations, radio and multichannel concert presentations, artist talks and workshops.

Copeland’s work with NAISA has included his development of multichannel spatialization systems that began in 1999 with the Richmond Sound Design Audiobox and Third Monk Software’s ABControl, and in 2006, a performance-oriented system using the Polhemus Patriot as a gestural controller along with customized software by Benjamin Thigpen.

Darren Copeland is an Associate Composer of the Canadian Music Centre (CMC). He has served on the board of directors for the Canadian Association for Sound Ecology (CASE), the Canadian Electroacoustic Community (CEC), Vancouver Pro Musica, and Rumble Productions. He holds degrees from University of Birmingham (England, UK) and Simon Fraser University (British Columbia, Canada).

These are some of the songs of which I'm proudest. I guess I write pretty emotional stuff, really, and often songs come to me fully formed in a dream or in a single moment. It's weird being an artist, but it's also very rewarding when you create things you actually enjoy. 

I believe in opening up my artistic process to scrutiny. The way songs and pieces are arrived at is as interesting as the art itself, and I find the super-produced slickness of studio recordings sometimes overwhelming and dehumanizing. Some of my favourite artists change lyrics during shows and re-arrange how they play songs all the time, and I treat the recording process somewhat the same, turning it into a *record* of what a song was like at a particular moment.
