Flabbergast<\/h3>\n

Born out of a one-off collaboration in the context of a MUTEK_rec release, Flabbergast<\/a>, Guillaume Coutu Dumont and Vincent Lemieux, has continued to develop thereafter. Focused for more than ten years on completely improvised live performance, the group has been focusing since 2014 on composition and increasing its releases.<\/p>\n

Flabbergast\u2019s music draws its influences from the four corners of electronic music, but also from jazz, hip hop and contemporary music. The complementarity of the fields of expertise of each of the composers allows the spectrum of the group\u2019s compositions to be broadened. Stylistically, no musical influence is prohibited. Lately, Flabbergast launched their own imprint Copier\/Coller<\/em>. Later this year they will release an album on the French label Chapelle XIV<\/a><\/p>\n

After studying electroacoustic composition and Latin and classical percussion, Guillaume Coutu Dumont established himself as an essential element of the Montreal electronic scene with the Egg<\/a> project alongside Julien Roy, Luci<\/a> with David Fafard and Chic Miniature<\/a> alongside Ernesto Ferreyra. In 2006 he moved to Paris first and then to Berlin where he developed his first solo project Guillaume and the Coutu Dumonts<\/a> which fuses jazz, afrobeat and electronic music.<\/p>\n

Several collaborations followed such as Mus\u00e9um<\/a>, an experimental and ambient music collective as well as the Guillaume & the Side Effects quintet.<\/p>\n

Back in Montreal, 10 years later, Guillaume focuses on the Flabbergast<\/a> project, works on a new project called Auflassen<\/a>, a trio composed of keyboards, drums, electronic music and real-time processing and develops the synth heavy project The Empires<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Along with his personal productions, Guillaume regularly composes original music for documentary series such as The Islands Diary<\/a><\/em>, The Life Sized City<\/a><\/em>, FASTER!<\/em><\/a>, EAT ME Or Try Not To<\/em><\/a> as well as Overbooked<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n
