MOONDATA LABPROJECTS
Moondata LABprojects was an event series which invited musicians, visual artists and DJs to co-operate in special one-time, improvised performances that crossed traditional musical boundaries. Started by Matthew Lederman in Montreal, over the span of seven years (mostly between 2004-2007), they held 40 improvised shows that combined the talents of over 100 musicians, visual artists and DJs, all of them from Montreal. Some of these musicians were unknown, some of them were already famous, and some of them were on their way to greater heights. Sharing the stage were Patrick Watson, Land Of Talk, The Barr Brothers, members of Bell Orchestre & The Besnard Lakes, joined by Kid Koala, Amon Tobin, Jorane, and Lhasa De Sela, among others.
ABDUL LATEEF AND THE DISTRACTION MACHINE
Lateef Martin is a multi-disciplinary artist and founder of Miscellaneum Studios with a background in illustration, dance and music production and beatboxing. Throughout the years, he has created various bike-based 'cyclepunk' works around a zombie apocalypse-plagued universe called Z’Isle. He along with a top production team of art direction and costume design created a show like no other: a live musical theatre performance exploring the mythology and history of Z’Isle.
SOCALLED’S THE 3RD SEASON
The Season, The Season 2, and The Season 3 are hilarious, touching, and unparalleled puppet-heavy indie musicals conceived and composed by Montreal's Josh Dolgin aka Socalled. The producer, pianist, writer, rapper, magician and cartoonist has – in addition to releasing six solo albums and worldwide touring – collaborated with musicians as different as Chilly Gonzales, Wu-Tang Clan’s Killah Priest, Irving Fields or “the architect of funk music” Fred Wesley, famed for his work with James Brown, Susan Hoffman-Watts and Frank London.
CREATURE FEATURE
In anticipation of the release of his latest album, Creatures of the Late Afternoon, Kid Koala hosted Creature Feature, a 30-minute, interactive romp presented alongside his XR video Four Stares. Presented by 4-VU, the event premiered live as an all ages, accessible as a pay-what-you-can stream in 2021.
Creature Feature was a needle drop through unreleased forthcoming tracks; an unveiling of Creature Corner puppet shorts with AMA (ask me anything) segments, with at least one of these emerging creature luminaries; an International Staring Contest (eye-sports) for those who tune in live, with unique prizes for winners—and the Four Stares XR video world premiere embedded in this cavorting cabaret of multimedia mayhem.
