Francis Latreille, known as Priori, is a pivotal figure in Québec's underground techno scene. His music, rich with science fiction and fantasy elements, blends organic and synthetic sounds into complex soundscapes. An adept mixing engineer and co-founder of NAFF recordings and Jump Source studio, Priori significantly influences Canada's electronic music. His forthcoming album, This But More, releases on May 24th, 2024. Departing from his dance-focused roots, it offers a contemplative mix of electronic and acoustic sounds, enhanced with a booklet of stories by Devon Hansen and animated visuals by Jack Anderson, inviting listeners into a deeper, introspective auditory experience.
Jack Anderson (Jek) is a Brooklyn-based American artist and designer known for blending analog textures with digital techniques, creating a unique fusion. His collaborations span notable artists like Priori and Huerco S, and festivals such as Draaimolen and Mode. Anderson's work includes stage design, live audio-visual performances, and 3D music videos, featured in publications like Fact Magazine and i-D Magazine. His experimental approach not only captivates but also pushes the boundaries of traditional performances, inviting audiences into a symbiotic world where technology and organic forms vividly intersect.
