FLUX Festival:  Sound and Collective Reflections

The Cana­di­an New Music Net­work is delight­ed to announce the launch of FLUX, a new fes­ti­val that aims to fos­ter greater inclu­siv­i­ty and to val­ue the diver­si­ty of our music and sound communities. 

From Octo­ber 4 to 10, 2024, five venues and sev­en local orga­ni­za­tions invite you to reimag­ine Montréal’s sound­scape around the theme: Sound and Col­lec­tive Reflections. 

For sev­en days, FLUX will present a diverse line­up of local and inter­na­tion­al artists, offer­ing a rich tapes­try of sounds and expe­ri­ences for every­one who per­forms and lis­tens to exper­i­men­tal music.

The fes­ti­val will also host work­shops, artists talks, com­mu­ni­ty round­ta­bles, and an aca­d­e­m­ic con­fer­ence, encour­ag­ing dia­logue and col­lab­o­ra­tion with­in and across communities. 

Ini­ti­at­ed by Arts in the Mar­gins, FLUX is the out­come of reflec­tion and col­lab­o­ra­tion between sev­er­al cre­ative music orga­ni­za­tions, includ­ing Inno­va­tions en con­cert, Mar­di Spaghet­ti, Le Vivi­er, the Cana­di­an New Music Net­work, McGill’s Lab­o­ra­to­ry of Urban Cul­ture, and the Inter­na­tion­al Insti­tute for Crit­i­cal Stud­ies in Impro­vi­sa­tion.
