Moondata Productions’ LABprojects series is heading into its 3rd year of bringing Montreal talent together for unique collaborations. Since 2002, LABprojects has played host to over 100 Montreal musicians, DJs and VJs. Members of Montreal’s electronic music community (Sixtoo, Kid Koala, P-Love, naw), 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, members of Torngat, Bell Orchestre) have all graced the stage at O Patro Vys in a variety of formations. The music has ranged fromsonic explosions to hauntingly beautiful moods, from upbeat grooves to minimal ambient textures. Regardless of the lineup, this “deftly curated†series has consistently amazing results.

This year, Moondata Productions is trying something new.

Breaking from the normal focus on a variety of individuals, Moondata is inviting bands to participate amongst other invited musicians for a full night of organized improvisation. Each show will maintain its focus on collaborations between 7-8 musicians on stage, but will add in a short set which highlights the invited group. To start off this new season, Montreal’s electrodance Moog sensations Unireverse will be the featured band. Their blend of synth ambience, dance beats and ability to improvise on a dime (they just finished collaborating with Can’s Damo Suzuki) make their set a perfect match to the organized mayhem that is a Moondata event. With the addition of Dr. Noh’s Andrew King (summoning the ghost of Miles Davis’s trumpet) and Jaime Thompson’s (Unicorns, Islands) dance oriented drumming, this night should see some sparks fly!
