  1. I had the incredible chance to find a job in the music industry in Montreal 2 weeks before lockdown back in march. I didn't work for two months then came back full time to the office on June 1st and didn't stop since. I am assistant coordinator for Constantinople, a very musical ensemble based in Montreal, whose artistic director is setar player Kiya Tabassian.

    I know it's self promotion but I take pride to talk about Kiya. Not only he is a incredible human being, he is also a musical genius. Constantinople has released 19 albums and has performed more than 50 creations since 1998. It's also literally a geographical journey, with collaborations with traditional artists from numerous countries. I could post them all but I will limit myself with three of my favorites:

    - Breathings. Inspired by sounds of nature. Among numerous performers, we notably have Tuvan throat singer Mongun-ool Ondar. 

     

    - Another one of my favorite is Under the Persian Musical Sky. A setar duo with his teacher Kayhan Kalhor. Fascinating how they dialogue.

     - Last one, Crossings, a collaboration with Senegalese kora player Ablaye Cissoko. 

    I would love some feedback! :) thanks!

    I really like this. I haven’t been able to find them on Spotify, though. 

    They are not on there yet. Probably along with the 2nd single, or the EP :)

  3. Thank you for those who recommended the new Yves Tumor, Four Tet, Yuksef ft. Confidence Man, Eliza & The Delusional, Sharon Van Etten and Steven Wison!

    It's not new but I just discovered the Death in Vegas ft Hope Sandoval songs... so good!

    Some friends saw him at Les Ardentes last year and said that he was a really fun act, so I'd take any thing in the same vein. (I'd love salut c'est cool but I have no idea how'd they fit though here haha !) 

    I'd take Salut C'est Cool anytime to close a tent stage! Saw them last year, craaaazy! But I guess not for everyone :D

  5. Having a 7 days festival is a disadvantage line-up wise.

    Having a lot of non-musical activities is a disadvantage line-up wise.

    Being held in August is a disadvantage line-up wise.

    a few of the reasons why Sziget doesn't have the artists that Werchter and Mad Cool have... but nobody who actually goes there comes back complaining! I'm sure there will be more gems added, including Main Stage, A38, Colosseum and Europe Stage.
