Mutek Montréal
MUTEK, esplanade Tranquille, 2022
MUTEK is a not-for-profit organization focused on disseminating and developing new forms of digital sound, music and visual creation, and acting as a springboard for artists. Held once a year in Montreal since 2000, the festival bearing its name is the organization’s main activity. From the get-go, MUTEK has stood out for its original, avant-garde programming, which is the reason behind its international appeal. The event covers digital works ranging from experimental to playful, with a special focus on innovative sound spaces, new electronic music and digital audiovisual performances. Since 2002, the organization has multiplied initiatives with this focus in mind, both in Montreal and on the international scene, by presenting one-off evening events, tours, editions of the festival abroad, not to mention the launch of a new record label.
