The Force Academy

September 15 2017 // Steven Ridley // CJLO

Not located in a galaxy far far away (rather, just a short distance from the Lachine Canal), the Force Academy offers a unique experience where you'll be able to awaken the Jedi Knight or Sith Lord in you for a day.

If you are like me and are anxiously awaiting Star Wars: The Last Jedi, I could guarantee your time at The Force Academy suck you in the environment as participants are encouraged to dress up as their favourite character as the score of the films play, as you advance through the exercises.

TUNE IN: Torn Petals on Waves of Honey

April 7 2017 // CJLO

Torn Petals is the newest project by Montreal artist Didier Iglesias, who beforehand was in the electronic band Lackov Datus and worked on visual arts performing live projections and video editing for artists like Robert Robert. 

Influenced by the likes of Aphex Twin, James Holden, Actress, and Jon Hopkins, the cinematic soundscape of Torn Petals is defined by his experimental IDM souds as well as his dancy downtempo beats echoing the 90’s electronic scene.
