Artists :: Magali Babin & I8U (Quebec)
Concert Improv
(Thursday, Febuary 6th, 9:30 P.M.)
I8U has had an exceptional musical career which has run the gamut from
classical music to the blues. It just took a fortuitous meeting with
David Kristian for her to get involved with electronic music. I8U has
taken part in various music and new technology festivals in Canada and
Europe including Silophone (Montreal 2000), Mutek (Montreal 2001), Le
Festival de Musique Actuelle de Victoriaville (Victoriaville 2002),
Ver Uit de Maat (Rotterdam 2002) and Reception is Interception (Kunstradio,
Austria 2002). She has produced CDs on Canadian and European labels
including one in collaboration with Goem in Amsterdam. She often gives
solo performances and works with Martin Tétrault, David Kristian
and Magalie Babin. I8U has a special interest in music, sound and Web
art which, a year ago allowed her to present her first Web art project,
Obstacle, directed by commissioner Nicole Gingras in Périphérique,
a media lab created in conjunction with the Groupe Intervention Vidéo.
Soon after, she presented a second work_ S _ at the Musée
du Québec as part of the Ellipse exhibition, directed by commissioner
Valérie Lamontagne.

Magali Babin is an artist who has been fiddling with sonic matter for
quite a few years now, in solo or with her accomplices Alexandre St-Onge
and Éric Létourneau. A central figure of risky improv
in Montréal, it is with pride that her first solo CD, Chemin
de fer, was released on the No Type label in April 2002.
