CURATED BY VID COUSINS

It’s time to put VID COUSINS in the front line. Vid has been behind the soundboard, engineering the majority of LABprojects over it’s 4 year span. Not only that, but he has had a large part in shaping the studio sound of Moondata, currently mixing and producing the upcoming SEVENS PROJECT album. Having only moved here from the UK a little over 4 years ago, Vid has quickly become a highly sought after engineer and producer. He has worked alongside many artists, engineers and producers including Al Fisch (Bjork) and Charlie Francis (REM, Hi Llamas). His last studio project was for AMON TOBIN’S newest album, which he engineered. He also mixed KID KOALA’s most recent album “Your Mom’s Favorite DJ”. His rich live-music experience led to a role heading the production of tours for NINJA TUNE and SQUAREPUSHER. In 2005, Vid helped AMON TOBIN develop the Chaos Theory surround sound system with which they toured Europe and North America on numerous occasions.

For this edtion of LABprojects, Vid has put together a a group of minimalist and electronics inspired performers. Promising such things as prepared drums, and unusual harmonic combinations, Vid is sure to both surprise, enlighten and scare us with the creations of his musical mind.

Moondata Productions’ LABprojects series is in its 4th year of bringing Montreal talent together for unique collaborations. Since 2003, LABprojects has played host to over 100 Montreal musicians, DJs and VJs. Members of Montreal’s electronic music community (Sixtoo, Kid Koala, P-Love, Killa-Jewel), indie music scene (Patrick Watson, Elizabeth Powell, members of Donkeys, Unicorns, Besnard Lakes, Stars) soul funk collectives (Ark of Infinity, Kalmunity), jazz groups (Joshua Rager, Miles Perkins, Jim & Chet Doxas, members of IKS) and improv instrumental circles (Sam Shalabi, Harris Newman, Torngat, Bell Orchestre) have all graced the stage at O Patro Vys in a variety of formations. The music has ranged from sonic explosions to hauntingly beautiful moods, from upbeat grooves to minimal ambient textures. Regardless of the lineup, this “deftly curated” series has consistently amazing results.
