The Ratchet Orchestra
Lolling between the sublime and the ridiculous, the Ratchet Orchestra
is a 30 head hydra which has occasionally disturbed the city of
Montreal since 1994.
Mobius is a 7-piece ensemble that incorporates lush electronic
sound-scapes into tightly woven arrangements for the acoustic ensemble.
Fuelled by some of the finest improvisers in Montreal, Mobius is
a powerful cinematic musical experience. Mobius made their debut
in the 2006 edition of the Suoni per il Popolo Festival in Montreal
with special guest New York City saxophonist Michael Blake. Shortly
after Mobius recorded their self-titled album that was released
in January 2007.
