Amirtha Kidambi is a New York composer, improviser, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist who hears experimental song as a vehicle for protest. Elder Ones brilliantly combines electronic music, punk, jazz, and South Asian devotional traditions to showcase her incredible voice, amid the sounds of some of the finest improvisers of her generation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Legend of e\u2019Boi<\/em> (The Hypervigilant Eye) is the latest chapter in the Man\u2019ish Boy<\/em> series by composer Darius Jones, a visionary outlet for his astonishing saxophone sound. The series manifests Jones\u2019s highly personal aesthetic and cosmology, and this instalment is a profound meditation on African American mental health and healing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Limited capacity; first come first served.Festival passeports do not guarantee access.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toronto polymath artist John Oswald pioneered the compositional approach, Plunderphonics<\/em>, primarily as a recorded project making familiar music unfamiliar through radical re-creation \u2013\u2013 Michael Jackson is an infamous example. Coveralls <\/em>is a live version of the concept that he sums up as \u201ckaraoke in reverse\u201d; he will play the isolated vocal tracks of known singers \u2013 while three groups of festival musicians, each on a different night and hand-picked by Oswald, will improvise strange and wonderful accompaniments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artistic Vision 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt FIMAV 42 you can hear world-class artists from Quebec, Canada, and abroad in formal settings with which long-time festival audiences will be familiar. Darius Jones, Pat Thomas, Rafael Toral, Amirtha Kidambi, and Eric Chenaux, for example, have never played FIMAV before. With our additional series of free informal concerts and satellite event, audiences will have different kinds of access to many of them as well. This edition will be \u2018up close and personal\u2019 and we think it will be more festive because of it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
