fabric/que - Trajectories at Sala Rossa part of Codes d’Accès 2024-25 Programming
fabric/que brings together works with very different aesthetics and instrumentations, but which have been inspired by a common preoccupation: what constitutes us, what elements from the past or our environment influence our individual or collective construction? The melodic material for Philippe Macnab-Séguin's Stained Glass, Caustic Fly is derived from Gregorian chant, the legacy of a religion with a complex history in Quebec. Lily Koslow's Mycelia refers to the underground root network created by fungi, which plays a crucial role in the ecosystem. Gabo Champagne's Hui, heur, nuit takes us back into his childhood memories to trace the traces of his evolution into adulthood. The Trajectories collective will perform four tracks from their album Blood & Breath, produced during the pandemic in 2020-2021, recounting both the isolation and resilience that characterized this troubling and transformative period.
Mycelia was selected by the CArt de Codes d'accès through a partnership with Vivier Interuniversitaire (ViU).

Trajectories
https://www.trajectories.net/epk
Trajectories is a collective of electroacoustic composers and interdisciplinary artists from Montreal, Quebec. The group, comprised of Charles Harding, Malte Leander, Connor Cook, and Michael Pinsonneault, focuses on generating an ever-expanding catalog of multi-disciplinary projects exploring diverse and relevant subject matter. Reflecting and commenting on contemporary issues, events and areas of research, each individual creator’s perspective interactively shapes the collective’s direction, and vice-versa.
In February 2023 the group released their first full-length album Blood & Breath, an hourlong odyssey of dark ambience, synthesis, and noise. For Trajectories, Blood & Breath represents the silver lining that came out of the global pandemic lockdowns of 2020-21 and their aftermath. Collaborating over Zoom and using shared drives, the group engaged with the unique circumstances and states of mind, body and emotion being personally and generally experienced in that historical moment, and the result was this album’s 10 tracks. Source materials were personal and intimate: recordings of apartments and private journeys and spaces, made into communal, holographic fabric when shared and reinterpreted amongst all members. As the pandemic raged on, the context shifted and tilted. So too did the relationship change between artists and their compositions.
