Keep tuned into our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages all week long for daily ticket giveaways to:

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. Gritty and sometimes discomforting, his latest EP nomore# will keep his listeners on their toes.

On March 25th, from 2 to 5 p.m., Concordia's Centre for the Arts in Human Development will be hosting a Zumba + Yoga fundraiser: Zugathon. Proceeds will go to funding the centre's range of programs that use the creative arts therapies to help facilitate social skills, build self-esteem and improve functioning for people with developmental disabilities. Come to move, stretch and raise funds with CJLO's the Audio Penpals! Tickets are available at zugathon.eventbrite.ca!
