Francois Houle (clarinets/laptop), Jesse Zubot (violin/electronics) and Jean Martin (percussionist/turntablist) have joined forces to create what is known as LaConner-the album includes highly engaging ad intricate works that incorporate electro-acoustics, improvisations, folk-inspired chamber-like melodies, samples and humorous dialogue. The result is a fascinating web of intriguing, relentless textural soundscapes that stay clear of the usual pitfalls of musique actuelle.
