"It's
an amalgam of improvised noise - an impressive instrumental chaos - the result
of some really talented musicians" - Andreanne Sasseville, Sirius Canada
interceiving
creates fluid, organic music that exists in the space between controllable and
uncontrollable noise - coaxing musicality from brute electrical chaos.
Harnessing
feedback from a variety of sources, interceiving finds beauty in audio
malfunction. The music consists of improvised soundscapes, undulating analog
textures, frenetic live drums and bold bass. No beat-making, sequencing or
sampling is used. Interceiving is noise you can dance to.
Earlier
this year, CBC Radio 3’s Craig Norris chose the interceiving song, Disco Stew
(part 3) as his New Music Canada Track of the Day, saying, “Part Holy Fuck with
a bit of The New Deal thrown in, interceiving is almost a straight-ahead improv
band. As unhinged as their recorded stuff is, I can only imagine that a live
show must be completely off the hook.”
Élodie
Gagnon of bandeapart.fm (the most visited music website in Quebec) :
“interceiving’s music is organic, in the sense that its multiple sonic layers
all come from instruments. Their raw sound reminds me of Amon Tobin’s and The
Chemical Brothers’ first albums.”
interceiving
has also been embraced by members of the Canadian film industry, having been
featured in many independent films including Dead Space (National Film Board of
Canada, dir. Marielle Quesney and Jean Labourdette) and Dreamchaser (featured
at the Montreal Fantasia Film Festival, dir. Renaud Rouverand).
Their music
weaved its way into other spheres, as well… the Montreal Tattoo Convention
selected their song Wrong Oboe as the soundtrack for its television and internet
advertising campaign, and most recently, the Canadian Centre For Architecture
(CCA) chose Disco Stew (part 3) as the soundtrack for an online video
documenting a 2009 art installation.
With
several critically acclaimed gigs under their belt, including repeated
appearances at the Pop Montreal Music Festival, interceiving has proven itself
to be a unique live experience. Each performance exposes the raw creativity
behind the process, as audiences witness the creation of new music emerging
from chaos in real-time.
Interceiving
is poised to introduce noise as music to a whole new audience.
