Last week, we looked at Sonus @ Zrce Beach. This week, we cross the Atlantic to one of the centres of music and the arts in North America; Montréal. At the end of the month, two standout festivals in their own right, Elektra and Mutek, will be coming together to celebrate their 15th year showcasing the finest in contemporary digital creation, electronic music, new media and culture.  Directed from the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, the 6 day festival will see wide variety of both day time  talks, showcases and digital workshops and night time (clubing) events. If you’re a music fan looking for something new, we suggest making the trip!
