Equilibrisme Podcast #013 Matt & Mark Thibideau Live
For our thirteenth edition of the Equilibrisme Podcast Series, we proudly present you : Matt & Mark Thibideau (Live). Long-time contributors to the Canadian electronic music scene, Matt and Mark Thibideau have performed under a few different monikers (Repair, Altitude, Mark & Matt Thibideau) in the last 15 years. As a duo, or on their own, they’ve played some of the most influential clubs and festivals in the world, doing so without compromising their talent or commitment to producing artful music. They have joined forces to incorporate elements of both of their respective outputs fusing two separate bodies of work in one cohesive live performance. As much dance floor-ready as it is synapse stimulating, it’s music that resists easy classification. The fraternal twins perform hypnotic dub techno, slow-burning deep house to energetic machine-tech curiosities on hardware synthesizers and drum machines. Their performances both together and separate have included Mutek Buenos Aries, 02, 03, 2009, and 2012, 2014, Picnic Electronique, 2017 / Montreal, Studio 672/ Cologne, Observatori Festival / Spain, Ministerium / Lisbon, Corvin Club Budapest, Tresor, Heidegluhen, The Watergate & CDV / Berlin, The Bunker / NYC, Guesthouse & Eden / Bucharest and countless events in Toronto. Matt and Mark have record releases with a variety of labels including 7th City, Cynosure, Waehlscheibe, Assemble music, Joule Imprint, Helena, Vade Mecum, Irenic, Archipel, Klangsheiben, Berg Audio & Sushitech and Equilibrisme. In 2011 the pair launched the label Obsolete Components — a small label featuring artists who share their passions for analog synthesizers and recording equipment. The Thibideau’s have also been featured in the documentary “I Dream of Wires” talking about their love for modular synthesizers. We are very happy and honoured that our good friends and favorite brothers joined us once more for our podcast series - this time both together! This live set was recorded at their home studio in 2021 and includes several unreleased tracks. Enjoy this beautiful ride!
