WEBSITE UPDATES
     Hi. Yes. It's been a while. But we're in the process of updating a few sections. We have a new item available from our store (see below). We've updated the recordings & project sections. Also, check out the pictures from the Moondata/Moment Factory event at the Musée d'art Contemporain de Montréal.

99 CENT DREAMS DVD/CD NOW AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE ONLINE
     A limited edition version of "99 Cent Dreams" can now be purchased to be delivered to your door. Experience this award winning experimental film in the comfort of your own homes. The DVD comes with a bonus 5 song soundtrack CD featuring music from Sevens Project, Moondata LABprojects and Matt Lederman. To order your copy, please visit the Moondata online store. You can also check out other Moment Factory DVD products here.

SEVENS PROJECT UPDATE
     We've been getting more than a few emails demanding when this epic album will finally be released. Rest assured, the wheels are in motion. We're working with Envision Management to make sure the album is given a proper release. It's looking like early 2009 as the final release date.

THE OBJECTS PREPRODUCTION
     Vid Cousins & Matt Lederman are finally promising to deliver on their avant-bootyshaking-prog-math-dance-rock extravaganza. Rumour has it that Miles Perkin and Stef Schneider have been added to the mix. While we know that these four blokes are some of the busiest people we know - they're all on different tours at the moment - we're anxious to hear what they've got in store.

MOMENT FACTORY & MOONDATA & 99 CENT DREAMS
     Last year, our regular visual collaborators at Moment Factory released their feature film '99cent Dreams'. Moondata contributed the majority of soundtrack music. Since then, the film won the award for Best Experimental Film at the Great Lakes Independent Film Festival and it is now set to be released on DVD. To commemorate, the Musee D’Art Contemporain has invited us to perform a live interpretation of the movie. The film's images will be manipulated while a live band of LABproject regulars play elements of the soundtrack and new material. See the trailer for the movie here.

LABprojects: THE FUTURE??
Many of you will have noticed that we have not had a LABproject session since May. While this has been in due mostly to the fact that we had a lot of other projects on our collective plate, we also felt that it was time to take a short break. When we created the series, we never actually expected it to last longer than a few months! At the fourth year, we want to catch up with ourselves and take a glimpse at what we can do. We’re happy that in the last year we were able to include more musicians and invite friends and musical heroes to lead their own, as the entire concept has been based on cooperation and challenging ourselves. We hope to continue down that road and involve more and more talented musicians in guiding their own events. We are excited for what the future of LABproject holds. But for now, we are all going to have to wait till l2009 to find out....

     All the recording is done and producer Vid Cousins is now working closely with Amon Tobin to mix the final result. We're obviously very excited by this turn of events.

As an interesting fact,  our special guest rarely ‘plays’ live with other musicians, and this is likely the 1st (and possibly only) opportunity many Montrealers will have to see him in this format.  It’s only fitting, because his soon-to-be-released album features many live musicians, a few of whom will be performing at this very show.

TEMPLO DIEZ - PSYCH-ROCK FROM THE NETHERLANDS
      We know this is fairly last minute notice, but this band is worth seeing live. If in Montreal, please check out this show!!!

Moondata Podcast 10
        2007 has arrived, and in the spirit of out with the old and in with the new, it's time to clean up some old files we've got lying around. Doing so provokes nostalgia as we listen to some forgotten items. So we put together this mix of some older music from the LABproject series that was in consideration for our last album SATELLITE. The theme here is how Moondata has tried to bring ambient textures to different contexts, be it 'enoisms', soul jazz, a rock ensemble, electronics or acoustic guitars.  If you use iTunes, click here to subscribe. If you are using other podcasting software, check our RSS feed directly here.  Enjoy!!!

NOVEMBER 8, 2006
 
October was a bit of a roller coaster ride. We spent a couple of weeks in the studio with Sevens Project and a lot of guest musicians. We ate a lot of take-out and delivery.  We spent a lot of money. We didn't sleep that much. We laughed a lot. We got stressed a lot. We made stupid jokes. We took stupid pictures. We dropped things. Things broke and then things got healed.
 
And what's the point?
Music is our mistress, and sometimes she can be vicious, but you got to love her anyways.

LABprojects 32 –- curated by Jason Sharp
     Credit Jason Sharp for putting together an all-star line-up for the 32nd edition of LABprojects.  Mr. Sharp, originally from Edmonton, has been playing in all sorts of scenes since moving to Montreal.  He has appeared in numerous local festivals including the L'Off festival, Montreal Funk and Soul festival, Suoni per il Popolo, the Montreal Reggae Festival, as well as jazz festivals across the country.

     For this edition of LABprojects, Jason has taken members of his Mobius project and combined them with other members of various jazz and funk working ensembles.  Andres Vial lays in on a number of keyboards, Josh Zubot/Crouched Head plays double-duty on violin and warped beats and electronics, while Kalmunity's Jahsun and Stars' Pat McGee will brew up a fierce drum groove. Adrian Vedady is currently THE go-to double bassist in the city, while Moondata's own Matt Lederman will shift roles from conductor to participant in what is sure to be a heady and exhilarating meeting of musical mind

Moondata podcast 09
     In honour of the upcoming LABproject session, Jason Sharp has donated two live tracks from his
Suoni Per Il Popolo concert this past summer. The band consists of a lot of familiar faces: Stefan Schneider (drums), Miles Perkin (bass), Joe Grass (guitar/pedal steel), Andres Vial (piano), Josh Zubot (violin/electronics), Michael Blake (soprano sax), and Jason Sharp (baritone sax). To seal the connection to Moondata, Matt mixed the show live, and that’s pretty much what you hear.  If you use iTunes, click here to subscribe.

Sevens Project - Phase One Complete
  Over two weeks, we buckled down at Breakglass Studios, and then again at Planet Studios, to track what will be Moondata's first studio album aka the Sevens Project record!!  We're pretty damn giddy with the results.  There's only one or two more things to do before we get to start sorting through the hours of material, and editing and mixing.  It's a fairly eclectic recording with compositions coming in from all 5 members of the band: Matt Lederman, Ryhna Thompson, Peter X, Patrick Watson & Stef Schneider, with the arrangement help of Vid Cousins, producer extraoridinaire.  We'll be adding some studio pics to the website shortly.  Unfortunately the album won't be ready for some time to come. Maybe sometime in the new year, something will leak. Who knows?



OCTOBER 24, 2006

LABproject 32 - curated by Jason Sharp
     The 32nd LABproject on November 18th is being run by our good friend Jason Sharp. Joining him will be Josh Zubot (violin / electronic beats), Andy Vial (harpsichord / keys), Jahsun (drums), Adrian Vedady (upright bass), Matt Lederman (guitar), & Pat McGee (drums). More details to be announced shortly.

Sevens Project nearly finished tracking in the studio
     We spent about 5 days at Breakglass Studios last week tracking the majority of the Sevens Project full length album. This week we're at Planet Studios recording strings and grand piano. So far, so amazing! We've even convinced many of our friends to join us. Just recording the horn section was a party. We'll put up some studio pictures soon. Now we have to catch up on sleep lost due to all night recording sessions.



OCTOBER 3, 2006

LABproject 31 line-up announced - October 21, 2006
     The September showcase was a blast. But now we're moving ahead with more shows and new faces. Inspired by the fact that it's running during the Festival du Nouveau Cinema, LABprojects 31 will feature a VJ orchestra - 4 VJs whose images will be mixed by conductor Matt K. Williston. Onstage will be the music orchestra - mixed and sampled live by Matt Lederman. Matt vs. Matt. No. We didn't plan it that way. For full details, check out the show section. Be on the look-out for LABproject 32 on Nov. 18th, curated by the one and only Jason Sharp.

People For Audio / Small Sails / thisquietarmy: Live @ Main Hall on Sunday October 15
     All the way from Portland, OR, Small Sails (ex-Adelaide) returns for to give us more eye and ear candy. 8mm projections and minimalist songs based on post-rock and ambient musics result in emotional escapes from reality. Local multi-media band People for Audio and thisquietarmy round out the bill for what is sure to be an amazing audio/visual experience.

LABprojects takes Summer Vacation
      That's right. Just like the kids playing at recess are soon to be, we're on summer vacation till the fall. We've been getting a lot of evil glances from some people who claim they need their improv fix, but you know, this break is just so we can work even harder at some new projects & new shows.
      And besides! We've already booked the dates for the next batch of sessions. Check out the shows section for precise dates.

Moondata contributes to Scene Quebec

Sevens Project @ Quebec City 'OFF' Festival

LABprojects session 28 - back to the Ambience & Beats
      The next installation of the LAB will move us back in style to where the series started - beats, layers, pads, live electronics & melodies. We're excited to have some new faces - Killa-Jewel, Maikko (Otolab, Italy), Eric Cohen, Ouananiche (from France), as well as LAB semi-regular Sage Reynolds, and the entire Moondata gang.

Moondata receives SOCAN Foundation funding
      We recently received the good news that one of the grants we applied for in order to continue putting on collaborative showcases has been approved! Be on the look-out for the Moondata Artist Series this fall. We're going to be starting with a Sevens Project CD release party sometime at the end of September 2006!

Sevens Project Recording moves to the next stage
      We've tracked and edited the drums and we're working in stages to get this album done. It will definately be an eclectic record, and we're really excited with the work done so far. Big props to Vid who is acting as producer and keeping all of our crazy ideas focused.

LABprojects #27 a rollickin' success
      Hot Damn! Those boys in Ideal Lovers sure can play the blues! The last LAB was perhaps the closest we ever got to a 'jam' session, breaking out the Son House & Booker T. vibes. A 3 guitar line-up complete with horns, organ and pedal-steel, the crowd at O Patro Vys was treated to a real down-home honky-tonk funk evening. We've already got a rough mix-down of it, so expect it to appear in a future Podcast...speaking of which....we should really get on doing the next one. Look for someting in a day or two.

Sevens Project starts Recording!!!
     In the early days of December, Moondata's first studio project starting recording the inklings of an album. The album is being constructed using a variety of ways and means, focusing first on compositional elements, but bringing in the feelings of collaboration and improvisation predominant at the LAB sessions.  Many of the results will be no doubt surpring, even to us, as the individual musicians are each responsible for a number of different ideas. The album will likely not be ready until late fall as we plan on working on it over a number of months. The core recording group is Patrick Watson, Stefan Schneider (of Bell Orchestre fame), as well as Moondata's head honchos Peter, Ryhna and Matt.

LABproject Session 25 with People For Audio - smashing success!
     This past Saturday saw the start of LABprojects in 2006. Our invited guests were all the members of Montreal audio/visual group People For Audio.
