About the Artists
Guitarist René Lussier is one of the pillars of innovative music in Quebec. A prolific and eclectic composer, he has been charting new music territories since the end of the ’70s, teaming up with a diverse cast of musicians including Fred Frith, Chris Cutler, Robert Lepage, NOW Orchestra, and Jean Derome. Cofounder and member of the label Ambiances Magnétiques, he has engineered and produced most of his albums. His work is often referred to as musiques actuelles as it blurs the distinction between rock, jazz and improvisation, modern composition, and circus music. Lussier will perform with two pairs of Vancouver-based musicians: Peggy Lee cello and Viviane Houle vocals, and François Houle clarinet and Dylan van der Schyff drums.
