Joshua Zubot & Alex Pelchat Live Improv Set on CKUT 90.3fm's If You Got Ears

Marilou Craft (elle/she/they) vit à Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang/Montréal où elle œuvre comme artiste, autrice, traductrice, éditrice, conférencière et conseillère dramaturgique. Elle est actuellement membre du comité de rédaction de la revue Estuaire et conseillère dramaturgique associée au Centre des auteurs dramatiques (CEAD).

Sa pratique artistique s’ancre dans les marges qu’elle habite et qui l’habitent: située à la confluence de la poésie et des arts vivants, elle sonde les zones grises entre l’intime et le politique pour en incarner la porosité. Elle performe ses créations à la scène comme à la radio, en solo comme en collaboration avec des poètes et artistes d’improvisation musicale. Ses courtes formes ont entre autres été publiées aux éditions La Mèche (Cartographies II : Couronne Nord, 2017) et Triptyque (Troubles, nos ombres, 2023 ; Corps, 2018 ; Pauvreté, 2021), ainsi que dans les revues Mœbius et Liberté.

Son engagement envers les personnes minorisées comporte nombre d’articles, essais, chroniques, conférences et prises de parole sur les enjeux de discrimination en milieu culturel.

"The audio work is a recreation (or, unmachinization) of the timbral sounds of static by human-performed means: against slate, graters, bubble wrap, and electromagnetic frequencies captured from cellular devices and filtered. We wanted to create artificial static, reflecting on what it means to bring electronic, non-human, and non-musical phenomena to human scale, and invent a counterfeit world that posits that this is in fact how static is created. In other words, to promote a false piece of audio with a false understanding of its scale. And this is not random: Cloud Circuit’s main source interests lie in the deconstruction of the false promotion of the internet as existing in the atmospheric omnipresence of “the cloud”, where in fact, its delivery, maintenance, and operation bases exist as a result of human manpower, and flow thourgh fibre-optic cables on the floors of our oceans."

Cloud Circuit - Live in Calgary 2024

This track is part of an EP called Moss Garden, to be released later this year.

In the afternoon the birds are back. Lately ravens and crows gather around, waiting for the winter to end. In our garden their rasping songs drown the dwellers tune, sending out a melancholic message of past times. Mysterious.

Birds

Deanna Radford plays words of mouth, language events, EMF. Jeremy Young plays magnetic tape, tube oscillators, tiny radio.
