Video Phase [Canada]

Video Phase is the result of the collaboration between two musicians-creators, Julien-Robert and Julien Compagne. Their common idea is to develop a new kind of art that equally combines music, video, and technology.

Strongly influenced by Steve Reich’s music (the inspiration of their first show) but also by electronic music, they create a synesthesia between their musical and visual universes, one representing the other and vice versa. The visual component of their shows is totally interactive; this gives them the freedom to improvise and preserves the magic of live performance. With the use of technology, they seek to provide the audience with more than a regular concert – a real multi-sensory experience.

Video Phase differentiated themselves with their first multimedia show. Receiving an enthusiastic response in the Réseau Accès-Culture, Video Phase was selected for the Entrées en scène Loto Québec program, and presented a showcase at RIDEAU after being chosen part of the national selection in 2013. After several shows in the Réseau Accès-Culture, Video Phase was selected for the CAM en tournée in 2013-14 and presented a concert series at the Centre des Sciences de Montréal in March 2015.
