Montag

Fusing dreamy electronic textures with pop melodies, Montag may be the task of French Canadian musician Antoine Bédard. Created and elevated in Quebec, Bédard ultimately relocated to Vancouver. His debut recording, 2002’s ARE YOU CURRENTLY a Friend?, released Montag’s abstract, charming washes of audio and premiered by Gooom Disques, house also to M83 and Cyann & Ben. On 2003’s Objets Perdus EP and 2005’s full-length Only, NOT BY YOURSELF — a co-release by Gooom and Carpark Information — Bédard shifted in a far more song-based path, which found the fore on his third recording, 2007’s Going Locations. Ghislain Poirier, M83’s Anthony Gonzales, Au Revoir Simone, and Last Fantasy’s Owen Pallett had been among Bédard’s collaborators upon this set of tracks. Montag after that released a set of self-released mini-albums, 2008’s Hibernation and 2009’s Des cassetes et el walkman jaune, and created remixes for M83, Au Revoir Simone and Celebrities in addition to hosting and rotating in the Montreal golf club night time Mec Plus Ultra. Nevertheless, Bédard focused the majority of his energy on his profession like a audio developer and composer, composing scores to theatre works and modern dance performances, and in addition narrated and edited audioguides and soundwalk items. Along with focusing on the award-winning iPhone software Audiosphere, Bédard embarked on a task in 2012 where he published and released an individual each month for any year. The outcomes were gathered in 2013’s Stages.
