ABOUT TICKET PRICING THIS YEAR:

NeuzTec is supported by grant funding, in-kind supports from local vendors, and through partnership with the Victoria Conservatory of Music. Garden City Electronic Music Society and the NeuzTec team have leveraged partnerships and fundraised to goal breaking efforts to maintain accessible ticket pricing year-to-year, however raising operational costs and inflation has hit hard across all categories of our expenses since the pandemic.

This year’s programming will see ticket price increases to facilitate an exciting edition that involves multi-media performances with complex technical needs.

Saturday events have maintained “$20 at the door” admission for years; however this edition with several off island artists performing throughout the day this year, we’ve transitioned to advance tickets at a cost of $25 to help with travel and other expenses.

As always, NOTAFLOF applies within our limited capacity to assist. Please reach out to [email protected] for more information.

We appreciate your understanding.

NEUZTEC: FRIDAY NOVEMBER 13
MATT ROBERTSON “AEQUORA”
w/ Martin Messier (1 Drop 1000 Years)
7:00 PM – 10:00 PM
at GREENHOUSE, 1411 Quadra Street

Matt Robertson is a composer, producer, and musical director — three times Grammy-nominated. He has worked as musical director and arranger with FKA Twigs, Björk, Anohni, Arca, and The Cinematic Orchestra.

He has released eleven albums under his own name, with works described by the music press as symphonic electronica and leftfield techno that’s cinematic in scale (Mixmag), evocative, expansive, and original (Electronic Sound), and Nils Frahm’s modern classical meets Jon Hopkins’ grainy techno (MOJO).

Growing up on Jean-Michel Jarre and Jimmy Smith, Matt graduated from the University of Surrey before working in London studios — learning to fix, and later build, his own synths. Working with a collection of vintage, modern and DIY instruments, he combines electronic production with classical composition and cinematic soundscapes. His work with Anoushka Shankar earned two Grammy nominations; he recently scored The New Corporation — The Unfortunately Necessary Sequel, Navalny, and The AI Doc.

ABOUT AEQUORA...

Aequora began as an exploration of additive synthesis — shaping and sculpting music entirely from sine waves at different frequencies and intensities. Rather than relying on existing software or plug-ins, Matt generated and layered hundreds of sine waves by hand, carefully balancing their volumes and envelopes over time. The result is a collection of soundscapes that are calm, patient, and quietly alive.

The live performance of Aequora will be accompanied by local artist Chris “Troll” Rozek, who has created a laser oscilloscope into which Matt Robertson’s sine waves will be fed to create a real time visual representation of Aequora’s sound design.

Montreal’s Martin Messier joins the bill on Friday, November 13, presenting his “1 Drop 1000 Years” project. This event takes place 7PM–10PM at Greenhouse (1411 Quadra Street) and is presented in stereo sound with the DeepWest SoundSystem.

Advance Tickets: $28

MARTIN MESSIER - MATT ROBERTSON
7:00 PM - 10:00 PM
at GREENHOUSE
1411 Quadra Street (https://www.google.com/maps/search/1411+Quadra+Street?entry=gmail&source=g)

NeuzTec’s Friday showcase explores the cutting edge of media art paired with sound design, featuring one of Canada’s most celebrated practitioners in the field.

Martin Messier’s “1 Drop 1000 Years”

In this hypnotic performance, the artist explores the tensions between the global currents that drive planetary equilibrium, and the intimate currents that resonate within each of us. Fifteen suspended devices, veritable kinetic sculptures, orchestrate the flow of water particles in real time, materializing oceanic dynamics.

Martin Messier is a key figure in the Quebec and international art scenes, Martin Messier orchestrates a dialogue between sound, light and movement.  Messier’s award-winning works (Prix Ars Electronica, Japan Media Arts Awards, World OMOSIROI Award, etc.) have been programmed at major digital arts centers and festivals such as Mutek, Transmediale, Sonar and Nemo.

Matt Robertson “Aequora”
with Laser Oscilloscope by Chris Rozek

Aequora began as an exploration of additive synthesis — shaping and sculpting music entirely from sine waves at different frequencies and intensities.  Rather than relying on existing software or plug-ins, Matt generated and layered hundreds of sine waves by hand, carefully balancing their volumes and envelopes over time.  The result is a collection of soundscapes that are calm, patient, and quietly alive.

Matt Robertson is a composer, producer, and musical director — three times Grammy‑nominated. He has worked as musical director and arranger with FKA Twigs, Björk, Anohni, Arca, and The Cinematic Orchestra.

The live performance of Aequora will be accompanied by local artist Chris “Troll” Rozek, who has created a lazer oscilloscope to create a real time visual representation of Aequora’s sound design.
