Ticket: $12
Genre: progressive rock/ambient/improv
Co-founder of “MANEIGE” (an elaborate, rock-fusion group of the ‘70s, that seduced a large public across Canada, with it’s strong musical creativity), Jérôme Langlois has since never stopped composing, developing his style into a constant flow of inspiration.
Jérôme Langlois: piano, Sylvain Leroux: alto sax, chromatic tambin and flute
The first time I heard Jérôme Langlois was when his band “Lasting Weep” played at my high school, I was 14 years old and just starting to get involved with music and they made a big impression on me. As fate would have it, a few years later in college I studied with the group’s flutist, Alain Bergeron.
He and Jérôme continued on to form “Maneige” which was very influential in 1970s Quebec. They used to fill the stage with instruments and all of the players were accomplished and versatile, doubling on many instruments. Their music was instrumental, harmonically and rhythmically complex, incorporating elements of counterpoint, improvisation, tempo, meter and key changes. They were affiliated with the progressive rock movement of that era.
I saw them play often and bought all their albums, I was a fan and their music is deeply imprinted in my DNA. It is therefore quite a karmic return for me four decades later to occupy my teacher’s shoes and perform some of that music with the man himself here in New York at Shapeshifter Lab on Tuesday.
Jérôme invited me to play four pieces with him, two of them to be played on my new invention: the chromatic tambin. It will be the first time I that use it to play written music.
I hope that you will come to listen to Jérôme Langlois, a wonderful artist and get a feel for some deep French American Northern soul. – Sylvain

Genre: electronics/dance
Natasha Blank is a movement catalyst, beat curator and the founder of Get Your Dance On. She provides sonics for everything from underground warehouse parties to Fashion Week. Known for her high energy dance antics behind the DJ booth, she infuses all her work with the desire to fill up this world with more truth and beauty than there was just a second ago.
The Brooklyn-based duo The Mast makes music inspired by futuristic pop, experimental beat music, post-dubstep, and early-IDM. Before they became The Mast, vocalist and instrumentalist Haleh Gafori and percussionist and beat maker Matt Kilmer toured all over the US, as well as in Europe and in Canada, playing venues and festivals such as Bonnaroo, the Mimi Fest in Marseilles, the David Byrne-curated series at Carnegie Hall, Preservation Hall in New Orleans, and the Hillside Festival in Canada. Upon returning, they settled back in Brooklyn, built a studio, worked on film projects, and began concocting a new sound. The first incarnation of their new band The Mast led to the 2011 release called ‘Wild Poppies’ which featured them on percussion and electric guitars. While touring, they began incorporating live electronics into their shows and then started to release some exclusively electronic compositions, the first of which was the single “UpUpUp.” The video reached over 300,000 views, was featured at MusicNW and Bumbershoot, and was recently featured in Pitchfork as well. A few more tunes followed: ‘Emerald,’ ‘Nuclear Dragon’, and ‘Seas Across Your Mind’ and their full-length album is in the making.
Culture vulture/co-founder of Flavorpill Sascha Lewis is also secretly a DJ. He specializes in old school hip hop and funky classics, but isn’t afraid of some good minimal tech house.
