What happened
For eight years mubone was a one-person instrument. This was the first time three of us played it together in front of people, with the system keeping track of where we were standing. Moving closer or further apart changed the music, which is a strange and lovely thing to feel from the inside.

What people wrote
Rosalie Chrétien at atuvu.ca heard the evening as music that blurs the line between disciplines and ways of listening, and introduced the collective as a transdisciplinary group working between Montréal and Copenhagen where sound, movement, technology and architecture meet. Read the review (French). Michel Rondeau reviewed the concert for PAN M 360.
