 NEWS 04/22 - My new composition SONÁMBULO is now available as a limited edition from Rope Swing Cities. 12/01 - Review of SNOWFIELD+REMIX (CD) in THE WIRE - "The seven untitled tracks here have a remarkable cumulative impact, the contrast between their tiny, crystalline details and the vastness of the landscape becoming ever more telling. The CD comes with a second disc of remixes by Drouin, Olsen, and fellow North Western audio adventurers Tomas Jirku and Yann Novak; denser and more layered than the source material, they're an excellent counterpoint which builds to a bracing climax with Drouin's inexorably rising "The Walk Out." 11/06 - Review of SNOWFIELD+REMIX (CD) on WHITE_LINE - "A tour de force...a worthy collection, that bursts with ideas." 10/21 - Review of AUDITORIUM (CD) in iGloo Magazine - "Austere at the outset, Drouin's intrusions act as a spattering Pollockian paintdrip to Novak's big floor-laid white noise canvas. The likes of sonicians as diverse as Eliane Radigue, Richard Chartier, Colin Potter, and Tim Hecker, looking on, would nod approvingly." 10/06 - Brief video of NO(H) MOVEMENT in New York as part of the Urban Video Project. 09/09 - Review of the Mutek performance of AUDITORIUM from Concordia's newspaper The Link - "Artists Jamie Drouin and Yann Novak presented their breakthrough project Auditorium, an experimental sound cycle that uses performance space as the meeting point for a medley of static, field, and found sounds. The result is an interactive sound journey shared by a dazzled audience." 08/28 - Grooves Magazine reviews AUDITORIUM at Mutek: "one of the most dramatic experimental pieces presented at Mutek, and quite beautiful". 06/05 - A review of our recent MUTEK performance by TJ Norris: "On par with similar past performances in the same setting by Angel and Alva Noto (both back in ‘04), these gentlemen were at peak level as the a/v experience was fully immersive, wrapping and slithering around me like a wild amphibian. One of the major highlights this year by far. A duo to watch." 05/30 - A review of SNOWFIELD+REMIX from Smallfish: "A deep work of musical art...If this is the calibre of release we can expect from this label in the future, then I for one will be eagerly anticipating the next installment! Quite superb from beginning to end and a must for lovers of Raster Noton, NVO, Line and other such labels. Highly recommended." 04/15 - A review of AUDITORIUM (CD) in e/i Magazine. .................................
